Was this a sensible suggestion? In a word, no. If you want to strengthen your muscles, the last thing you should do is to put them in a bucket of cold water. If your muscles get cold they‘ll actually probably get weaker, as in cold conditions it’s harder for muscles to get the oxygen they need in order to contract. The chances are that immersing your arms in a bucket of cold water will make them weaker rather than stronger.

Bizarrely, there might actually be a grain of truth in the idea that wearing a Superman T-shirt can make you stronger. Just a very small grain, mind you. In a recent experiment, Superman-clothed university students seemed to feel that they were stronger. When they were given weights to lift, of course they couldn’t actually lift anything heavier than usual - but they certainly thought that they could! It seems that the T-shirts made them feel super strong.
