Hmmm. So to hold a half-pound foam panel over my head so I can screw it to the ceiling I'm going to need a 150lbs worth of strap-on equipment? Not sure about that one.

Running hardboard on soffit off of a narrow walk board on a pitch or hanging 12' rock on a ceiling for hours and I can see where something like this would be a good idea. Now if your just looking for a good shoulder burn then doing it free handed is the way to go.

Other MIT (or CalTech) students will figure out a way to hack those arms and cause pain to whomever is donning them. :eek:
