Ice After Training

Viethulk4 · 06-06-2007, 09:12 PM

I heard Brock Lesnar, a former wrestler used to jump in a pool of ice water after his post workout to help his body recover faster. He said it was like a giant ice pack, but I'm not sure how ice on a muscle help? So what does an ice pack do to ya muscle?

Im not sure if it helps in recovery or not but At the gym I go to I have seen a couple guys get in the DIP which is Ice Cold water for a few seconds and then jump into the Jacuzzi. I think the Ice cold water fully contracts the muscles and then when you junp in the jacuzzi they relax. Not to sure.

There has been a huge thread on these concepts.

helps the lactic acid from building up..

We did have another huge thread on this. I think the overall feeling of it was a no. Brock did it as a mental thing.

after squatting 500 lbs and doing a full leg workout with deadlifts included my workout partner and I go to the King Sauna in Palisades Park NJ..they have a pool that is ICE COLD we sit in that for a couple of minutes and then get into the boiling hot pool then the cool pool then the steam room then the sauna and back into the ice cold pool round and round ...the place is full of Korean and Russian mafioso..it's all in the nude

so if u want to go keep that in mind..this is how they do it in Korea,Japan,Russia...

not for the faint of heart or bashful folk....also they have a restaurant and the food is great

yup especially after heavy legs,dead lifts..those big muscles like being put on ice..of course u cant stay in the ice cold water for more than a few minutes but once you get use to it you'll ove the sensation of getting in ...makes the boiling hot water seem cool...

Its mainly a mental obsticle and the other part is physical. Its also a personal preference.
