These do help me get over the initial really hard efforts, without the leg muscle becoming overtaken by whatever causes the 'blocking' of muscle capacity and might cause the 'stone' effect.
It helps especially when I'm not able to get a proper warmup into my legs.
Really good post Yuri.
The quoted section is very interesting because starting out hard without a warmup has a terrible effect on my ride, and I'll look into these.
