“Arm-Pump Solved”

As an experienced mental game coach, Dr. Patrick J. Cohn came to the conclusion that arm-pump is an entirely mental cycle that can only be handled in the mind, not in the gym. His audio CD, “Arm-Pump Solved,” is a six-step guide consisting of mental strategies for eliminating arm-pump. While listening to the fi rst track, I realized something: Dr. Cohn is a sock puppet. I can’t tell you why, but his voice reminds me of a talking sock, and when he speaks I can think of nothing else. Anyway, as the CD spins on, Dr. Sockpuppet throws out a number of interesting ways to relieve tension and anxiety that cause arm-pump. And guess what? He may actually be on to something. Although the disk is a bit cheesy and dull, there are some cool points geared straight toward racers and their application could certainly be helpful in solving chronic arm tension. Is this audio CD a cure-all for pumped forearm muscles? Probably not, but it’s a good start. And if you’re ever in the mood to be soothed by a calm, monotone talking sock, I can’t think of anywhere better to look! -Chris Denison
