Hot Tub after workout?

[Theonlyone]

If an ice bath helps recuperate muscles, is just a hot bath detrimental to muscle recuperation?

I like a hot sauna followed by a cold soak. It is the contrast effect between hot and cold temperatures that speeds circulation and recovery.

After a killer workout, nothing felt better than a jacuzzi. I think it was 104-108 degrees. Where I lived, I had a jacuzzi and right next to that was a pool. (of course there was a bbq pit and also tennis courts). The jacuzzi was great and jumping into the pool afterward really didnt feel great but it sure woke me up. It was rather like a shock when I jumped into the pool. The jacuzzi really loosens the muscles but when you jump into the cold pool, it was the opposite. Nevertheless, I felt great.

i dont know if its good for you or not but i sure do love jumpin into the hot tub and pool after a workout. its refreshing.

It makes your muscles looser, more limber, flexible, etc. This helps with training the next day, you arent as tight. I would stretch either in or right after the hot tub.

You guys might think me nuts for telling you this, but I have a Hot Tob in my backyard. Its Canada, its March, therefore its freaking Cold. After I'm done my lifts I go tub it up. As soon as I'm a lobster and everything's soft, I jump in the snow.

My neighbors must think I'm a special boy.
