Your Recipe For Recovery

[Carl Carlson]

Hmm, this hot/cold contrast shower thing seems like it might hold some promise... I might have to give that a try sometime.

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.

they work

I recomended 45 grams after workouts or before bed to a member at Bodybuidling .com

and it change his training

meaning he can go all out for longer and for more days during the week

Once again, too bad it's just anecdotal evidence right now

Hearing from a buddy, or from a EF member is great, no doubt---because we are all here to share information and training tips.

Don't get me wrong, Omega, I'm not trying to "shoot down" glutamine peptides. I'm just very skeptical unless I see the pure facts.

I'm the ultimate discriminaing consumer, but I would love to believe glutamine peptides actually do what they are advertised as being able to.

If they did, they would be the ultimate recovery supplement.

yeah i am pretty anti supps myself and normally just use whey shakes and thats it really and there are only a few supps i recommend to others..

but i definately feel that serious martial artists or anyone going through really tough and intense training will notice a difference when taking peptide bonded glutamine..

and its really not that much to give it a try..

like the day after a tough workout if you feel run down and week almost like a cold is coming on then you HAVE to give it a try..

and if you dont like it just send it to me and its all good

Bumping a year old thread 'cause, well....it's my thread, and I think it was a damn good question. The faster a guy can recover, the sooner and harder he can hit the gym again.

Any new additions/tips/advice on recovery?

Im pretty sure he said MMA or MA FIGHTERS so pussy weightlifters please dont tell us how you recover from your "brutal" tricep workouts so you can look big and tough at the bar, you have no clue the pain we incur / inflict... Anyways im a Professional Boxer and I would imagine alot of your soreness comes from the stand up position with MA. My favorites for recovery include: Protein/carb mix shake, hot tub, massage, muscle relaxers, ice bath, HGH, Efa's, Vicodin, sleep, rest, food, aminos, arginine, bio freeze, chiropractor, deep tissue, etc. The 2 things that are over looked are stretching afterwards and rubber band work so the blood properly leaves the areas. BTW icebaths are my favorite= 5 bags of ice from the local store freezing cold water for half hour. Oh and how can I forget AAS are always good for recovery!

You should stretch after every workout. I will improve your recovery and make you tougher vs injury. No matter what I am doing I follow this plan...

1.) Light stretch in the morning.
2.) Warm up before workout.
3.) Pre workout light stretch.
4.) workout
5.) Post workout stretch.
6.) Post workout shake.
