5 Recovery Methods You Should Know

[@mattvdh]

A few others: Arginine, Boron, CoQ10, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, Omega-3, and Creatine. Also, simple carbs/glucose found in high-GI foods can also be used for short term muscle energy recovery.

Hey thanks man! I’m no power lifter, I actually swim competitively. I know it doesn’t sound as intense as moving hundreds of pounds but swimming 4-5 miles a day will tear your body down and I just wanna say that all these tips and tricks are greatly appreciated :)

I had a hunch about a year ago that salt made me feel stronger I started having a bit in a glass of water before a workout and my friends said I must be stupid. But I swear by it so I’m glad somebody else as mentioned it. I think it’s due to the fact that I sweat a lot during workouts and I use saunas a lot. So it may not work for everybody but I was deffo salt deficient and it made a dramatic difference

I still love the lime and salt shot taught by Charles Poliquin RIP, what are your thoughts on that?

[@rickyspanish5316]

I would be very very careful with the salt stuff. While its true that salt is good for people who work out a lot its not for people that don't and if you forget to drink a lot while taking so much salt you could end up with some annoying headaches or even kidney problems

The problem with taking away inflammation is when you want to put on size cold baths can actually be bad for hypertrophy if that's your goal . Great for strength and recovery though

I have been doing a little salt before my workout, less than half teaspoon, and notice a very good effect. But anymore than that is to much, B/P goes up to high. My strength goes up with the salt. Sometimes I forget to take the salt and notice I am weaker without it.

Hey buddy, I've got a question about the hot cold contrast. Just how long do you need to stay in one area before you move to another area? Hot to cold? Or cold to hot? Multiple times or just once? I don't have an ice bath but I'm thinking maybe if I just take a really really hot shower and then hop out of my bathroom with the window open cuz I live in the North so it's cold outside, that might cut it? Or cold showers then sit by a radiant heat source? Thx for your time
