anny recovery tips?

[Tyler Timmermans]

right now my leg muscles are so sore from TKD/MMA training because i took some time off. and i was wondering if anybody has tips like ice baths or something that works for them.

Hot water on my muscles and ice cold water on my tendons. I usually apply that with the shower head after each training session. I use heat packs or ice packs if I actually hurt something.

Beyond that, the single greatest recovery thing i've done was when i last straightened out my diet and stopped any and all drinking. Before my last cage grappling match I did like a month of clean eating and no drinking leading up to my match. Miraculously (or obviously) all my injuries and soreness healed in time for the match. I was even increasing my training frequency and training harder but everything still healed up.

ok thanks ill try that, and i often find myself drinking diet pop insted of water so thats something i can definitely change about my diet.

Get a massage! hot oil of course. Stay the hell away from diet pop!. High fructose corn syrup as well.

Personally, I found that more important than the avoidance of diet soda was simply the focus on staying hyper hydrated. You really can't hydrate up that well while also drinking diet soda, so your point is totally valid. But I was seriously drinking tons of water during that time.

After smashing shins in Thai class or after calf crushes and shit in jj class we use Thai Linament to ease the pain. Stretching after class while really warm helps. Ice
