Training = Work + Rest (Recovery)
- Mark Twight
Higher levels of soreness after recent intense training has led me to dig deeper into the different methods that promote faster recovery.
Here are a few areas we should all begin to take a closer look at:
Fish Oil supplements
Massage
Contrast Showers
Ice
Pre and Post workout nutrition
Hydration
Sleep
Stretching
Active Recovery
Foam Roller

An ice bath after a hard workout will solve your soreness problems, Clint. Fill up your bath tub with cool water and go buy a 20# bag of ice and throw it in. Soak for 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteAs scary as that sounds I'm gonna have to try it. This soreness crap is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIt is gonna hurt really bad. But, after going numb, it will be OK. Each time you do it, it will be easier
ReplyDeleteBeen there done that and D* is right on. It's painful, but it works.

5 total rounds with time to spare, tried doing something aerobic today to help with a sore, stiff back. Helped a little, looking forward to a better workout tomorrow. Day 2 of no sugar for 30 days going somewhat difficult. Headache all day. I did not think I ate that much sugar, but eliminating it completely has proven a little tough in the early stages.
