How to speed up muscle recovery? was created by beemer
Hi,

I find that my legs always take longer to recover than my other muscle groups - perhaps because I push harder when doing legs :).

So, in addition to stretching, glutamine intake and resting, what else can be done to speed up muscle recovery?

Some deep tissue massage also works nicely.

Beemer, go buy yourself some ICE MAN - it really works. I hit my leg session and hit the shower and apply to legs straight after, works like a bomb. Just remember to put it in the fridge for best results

That is what makes a bodybuilder a true bodybuilder, and that is to be simply.....

:lol: :lol: It aint helping, perhaps because it's only my first week of cycling. 3 days after the best leg training I've had in a while and still walking eina eina.

Hey bud, go to Diskem and ask them for it. It comes in a tub and is a blue gel. Is made for horses and helps with joint and muscular pain, I swear by it though. Only thing that stops me from walking like a cowboy lol

I have the same promlem. But think its coz I didn't focus as much on legs in the past. But a good DIET, glutamine an protein intake helps me a lot.

the only place were 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary

If you have a desk job or you spend long periods studying, take regular breaks to walk around and get the blood flowing. I find it help a lot

With the quick recovery times, is it possible overtrain when on steroids?
