Sauna: Yes/No

[blaster220]

Anyone like to use the sauna? Is it bad to use after lifting? I've only tried it a couple of times at the recommendation of a friend for muscle relief, and it felt pretty good. I just want to make sure I'm not hindering my gains.

And no, it's pretty much always empty, just like the weight room at my gym, so I don't have to deal with old ass naked men I'm very lucky to have a gym full of aerobics and spinning classes

Thanks!

I love the saurna and it makes you soooo horny. But it sucks when dirty old fat hairy men come in and try to chat you up when your trying to have a wank.

Dr. Squat wrote some good stuff about the sauna, you could find it @ www.drsquat.com or in "Hardcore Bodybuilding - A scientific approach".

Basicly, it's a very good way to relax after heavy training, helps you to clean excess body fluid, and while sitting there in the heat, you should think about your exercise, what went well and what could be improved, also focus and think about the next day.

Also, in my experience, sauna increases the feeling of the "training orgasm" I always strive to experience.

I already have.

When I was on day 2 of DNP I was able to get in the sauna... after that, no way

I like saunas and steam rooms (as long as they're not totally full of people).

It's OK to go to the sauna after your workout if you feel like it.
In general sauna is great! good place to relax and to clean up for good! And I'm talking about real sauna not some damn steam rooms etc!!!!

Years ago I read, that taking a cool sauna, like around 140 instead of 180 and staying in for hours, was one of the few ways of ridding your body of heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Any confirmation on this?

A sauna will definitely get rid of excess sodium and water bloat, but one needs to modify one's diet at the same time; i.e. salt reduction; otherwise the results are very temporary.

I enjoy saunas for the cleansing and relaxing effect.
