    I love the hour or so when my cargo shorts fit like lycra.

    Ok, so I guess I do have a question:
    Do vasodilators offer any *performance* benefit? I understand the physics and inverse relationship between the diameter of a medium and its impedance, so it seems like it might offer a real benefit. But, I'm also am well acquainted with the fact that the intuition of an concept and the essence of that concept are often at odds. Input?

    The benefit may well be mental as bigger pumps motivate you and have you going aggressive at the weights. In terms of measurable scientific benefit? I'm sure more blood gives the muscle greater room to grow. I'd be interesting to see if any scientific studies have been done on the subject.

    There are a few. More room to grow isn't part of it. Dig around for a while on PubMed and Google you should find a few.
