Your Recipe For Recovery

[Judo Tom]

Not being a smart ass but sex really helps me after a tough workout.
I eat, have a hot shower and screw. Relaxes me and I feel much better than if I don't have sex.

cool, that should be a given or your doing something wrong

I've done the contrast shower ... and it worked for me. I also like to make sure that I'm on creatine. It seems to help my cardiovascular endurance but grip endurance sucks.

Is the ice bath just something from TV or are people really doing this?

Yeah, it's real, with science behind it. I first read about it in "Science of Sports Training" by Thomas Kurz. I think it was popularized in Europe prior to catching on here.

The theory of vasodilation/vasoconstriction is that it'll help flush toxins from training (lactic acid and such) quicker.

I'm still working on getting the ice cold shower going. Fuck, it ain't easy. But if it was easy, it wouldn't be worth doing, would it?

btw im taking glutamine peptides (15g) with dextrose (40g) 4x a day and i definately started to notice a difference almost right away..

no other changes..

by the way i am 'working out' about 12x a week now with 6 mat sessions a week and 4 of them being very intense.. my other workouts are strength/endurance type stuff and at least half of them are very grueling .. i am definately 'overtraining' whatever that means

Holy hell, Tom. I feel like a lazy bag of crap compared to you! I get all high and mighty if I hit 5x a week. You are a machine, dude, no question.

Glutamine peptides, eh? I'm leary about dropping any $$$ on that---considering all the hype surrounding L-glutamine when it came out, and the reserach now that it's a waste of coin. I'm surprised L-glutamine still flies off the shelves.

Glutamine peptides "seem" like the new-and-improved version, and the theory about how it works makes sense. Too bad it's just anecdotal evidence right now.

i know its not mental

and the only time ive used them and felt a difference was when i was doing lots and lots of intense training..
