    Tips for muscle recovery after heavy lifts?

    I did some real heavy lifting a couple months back and the very next day I was so sick I couldn't go to work. felt like I had the worse case of flu and sore to the bone all over. any idea what I can do to prevent this the next time I go for a PR?

    Sore from lift heavy weights? This is very rare.

    My mind is blank. I wanted to move on and not comment. Then I saw your signature. I was still going to move on and not comment. But then I thought of my daughter and how her ex treated her. Then I wanted to comment. But I couldn't top the comment already made.

    If you can swing it financially, go for a deep tissue type of massage once per week, or biweekly. Does wonders for what ails ya, and is very good for muscle recovery, both short term, and long term. Hope you get to feelin better.

    Get a good foam roller and make sure to stretch post-workout.

    Maybe even do some mobility drills as a warm-up.

    Sorry about the Sig guys. I have that for the Kids in the Misc. they need to learn.

    as for the tips about stretching I do that twice a week with the machine to get my quads. have to do a deep stretch to get past the issues of my replacement knee. things have very strained for a long time. tends to make me walk like I'm a hundred years old some days. funny thing even with doing loads of calories with plenty of protein I still feel depleted the next few days after a heavy day. I have some decent whey and extra bcaa's to go with but not sure if that's enough?

    I just posted this in another thread in O35 day before yesterday.

    I have nothing to help me with DOMS, not stretching, not mobility work, not foam rolling, not massage, not NSAIDS, not hot showers/baths, not icing...nothing but time.

    My lower body is still wrecked from my squat training Monday on this new routine I'm on. Last night I hit chest, and the DOMS have set in with a vengeance, so just as the lower body starts to fade, the upper body is going to be at its worst.

    Criminy, I can't wait to adapt.
    "Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." - Psalm 144:1

    Also, taxation is theft.

    You may be be right. I may have just weakened my system enough for the bug to get a foot hold. dunno? as an old bugger who looks like you have made good gains what have you been doing for muscle recovery?

    Now as far as recovery.. and keep in mind I'm an endurance athlete not a bodybuilder so what works for me maybe not work for you but some of it is worth trying.

    Massages - sports/deep tissue

    Contrast showers - help with muscle soreness, inflammation and boost the immune system.

    Foam rolling or even better pvc pipe rolling.

    Hot tub soaks in Rev or Epsom salts.

    Ice baths after heavy lower body workouts, followed up with hot shower 30 mins later.

    Dry skin brushing, followed by warm showers and light massage. This does have benefits even without the the massage part. It's good for the central nervous system. Really good for periods where your cns is having to adapt to changes in training.

    I also use guided hypnosis as means of relaxing, speeding recovery and improving on an area I'm having trouble with like a lift or ect.

    After resting for 5 or 10 minutes after a strenuous workout, spending 20 minutes on an exercise bike or elliptical at very light setting seems to help me. Getting the blood flowing through the muscle groups helps.

    Active recovery...try it.
    “From this day to the ending of the world,
    But we in it shall be rememberèd—
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother...”

    Thank you Grace. I just so happen to have a huge chunk of 4" pvc handy and the foam underlayment to make the pad. some else here also noted the foam roller. after reading up on it I kinda do some that now using my stairs. I slide my back over the ridge of the steps to get a similar effect. the roller sounds like it would be more versatile.

    Never heard of the dry skin brushing? sounds interesting. what kind of brush would you use for this?

    the contrast showers also sound like they may help. I don't have access to a bath big enough for myself anymore as I tore it out for the giant shower ..oops.

    I have not tried the Glutimine by itself yet. the whey I get has some in it but not sure if its enough. I'm only taking mega red fish oil and Coq10 right now. the Bcaa's I use a tsp in every shake before and after workouts. I also stopped and picked up more coconut water today to mix shakes with for the potassium(700mg per shake) saves eating all them bananas. plus it clears out any uric acid crystals in my joints

    Def go with the pvc, IMO actual foam rollers aren't worth the money. You can get the same benefits (imo even better) from pvc.

    I use a natural bristle brush, like a shower brush. Start at my feet and make long strokes up the legs, then arms always working toward the heart. I use a method similar to this.. http://www.netplaces.com/sensory-int...ompression.htm You can still get positive results even without the joint compression just simply using the brushing.

    I use it as follow up treatment for PTSD and as a cyclist & weightlifter. I believe it improves recovery and helps with cns adaption. It's also has uses awareness, responsiveness, focus, alertness, improved coordination. It's also good for improving circulation and a few other things.

    Abnormal potassium levels may cause symptoms such as muscle cramps or weakness, nausea.
