French cyclist Pierre-Luc Périchon avoids trimming his fingernails outside of rest days. He says that new growth excites the nervous system and saps slightly more energy.
(According to WSJ story)
How do his nails know that they are trimmed such that they start with "new growth"?
Considering that nails allegedly continue to growth after death, I say bullshit
Also, we all know to never do anything new on race day, and not to
change anything on race day, so I call bullshit, again
Further, considering his results, this strategy may not actually be working for him; he
might want to change that up?
