Reduce Muscle Fatigue (Works)

taking ice baths greatly reduces the amount of fatigue you have (especially in your legs) after you workout

1. ice numbs your muscles causing the blood to recede
2. when youre done icing for like 10-15 minutes and get out, fresh blood rushes back to your muscles causing nourishment for your muscles (and something about your lactic acids)

ive taken icebaths after intense workouts or games and they help a lot, just wanted to share :applause:

brock lesner also talks about how he does this after workouts...seems like it does work, but there is jus sumthin about jumpin in a tub of ice that dont seem right

yeah man I heard that its do able, but I have sauna's after workouts at the Y and I have hot showers I feel better afterwards
And besides, thats cold man, it would feel better right afterwards, but by the time I get home, im cooled off

Whatever works, just dont plan to have secks right after tho

"ice baths" are the oldest trick in the book. You'll notice pro athletes take 'em after a hard game.

ill stick to my hottub :D

i hate cold this isnt going to work for me :$

stretch

i heard hot tubs make your muscles more feel more fitigue any truth to this ?

props...thanks for the info

yeah, I realized that if you take a bath after a workout whether its your legs or your arms...your recovery is about 50% faster than normal... and when i say bath i mean hot water...

Its Mad :wow: when u first jump in...but if u stay in...it starts to actually feel good...

Kind of reminds me of when I first decided to kick eatin fast food, and get more into vegetables.......

veggies are freakin good...

hot water i believe relaxes the muscles but what i was trying to get a point across was that COLD WATER replaces your blood in your muscles that have been worked reducing the need for lactic acids and thus creating less fatigue.. i usually take a hot shower after an ice bath
