Hey thanks man! I’m no power lifter, I actually swim competitively. I know it doesn’t sound as intense as moving hundreds of pounds but swimming 4-5 miles a day will tear your body down and I just wanna say that all these tips and tricks are greatly appreciated :)
Duuude Swimming so underrated man! I’m a weightlifter/powerlifter but i used to swim in high school I have HUGE respect for swimming 💪🏼 stay great king! 🤘🏼
A few others: Arginine, Boron, CoQ10, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, Omega-3, and Creatine. Also, simple carbs/glucose found in high-GI foods can also be used for short term muscle energy recovery.
I use the wim hof method for cold exposure and vasodilation and on my lunch break have a nap. Didn’t realise salt was a major component and will look into guasha. Everyday is a school day. Thanks
Thanks Matt. You added to my knowledge even after I had spent many hours researching recovery. I was motivated by the positive effects of using your training programs as previewed in your excellent manual "Physical Training for Tactical Populations: An Optimal Approach". Very helpful content.
Didn't really know about the mini workout stuff, many thanks! I use to do similar stuff when rehabbing for an injury, made the recovery process much quicker. Great video!
Great tips but there are certainly many more things that help accelerate recovery. Chiropractic adjustments to the spine and extremities would be my first suggestion. Cold laser and dry needling are 2 other favorites.
I had a hunch about a year ago that salt made me feel stronger I started having a bit in a glass of water before a workout and my friends said I must be stupid. But I swear by it so I’m glad somebody else as mentioned it. I think it’s due to the fact that I sweat a lot during workouts and I use saunas a lot. So it may not work for everybody but I was deffo salt deficient and it made a dramatic difference
The problem with taking away inflammation is when you want to put on size cold baths can actually be bad for hypertrophy if that's your goal . Great for strength and recovery though
I would be very very careful with the salt stuff. While its true that salt is good for people who work out a lot its not for people that don't and if you forget to drink a lot while taking so much salt you could end up with some annoying headaches or even kidney problems
Honestly Listening to the body without the ego …. Encapsulates all After years of training & competing. The naps and sauna immediately after lifting followed by a 15 min cold shower is a super weapon for me. I didn’t even think about it until I watched this video. THANKS FOR THE BEST VIDEOS WENNING STRENGTH TEAM !! 💪🇺🇸
I have been doing a little salt before my workout, less than half teaspoon, and notice a very good effect. But anymore than that is to much, B/P goes up to high. My strength goes up with the salt. Sometimes I forget to take the salt and notice I am weaker without it.
What kind of protocol do you generally use for the hot-cold contrast? Frequency, length of time spent in hot/cold per session, optimal temperatures, etc. Just looking to get an idea of how I can slowly work this tool into my regiment.
Post workout inflammation is actually beneficial and it shouldnt be lowered but in fact enhanced with a hot shower. Morning routines should involve hot and then cold
@@WenningStrength heard that from Andrew Huberman and no i didnt fact check that thoroughly but it makes sense. Your body naturally goes through a short inflammatory process post workout and we shouldnt interfere. Its not pathology
I dont get the salt part. Everybody knows a person should not eat more than 6 grams of salt a day. Most of the dutch people are eating almost twice that amount a day. In my case with a bulk i easily get 15 a day.. So how come that some persons getting too low?
It's not a mini workout but a few 10 minute walks a day is amazing. Check out our video on working out while traveling to get some great ideas for keeping your body in great condition on those days you can't make it to the gym!
Hey buddy, I've got a question about the hot cold contrast. Just how long do you need to stay in one area before you move to another area? Hot to cold? Or cold to hot? Multiple times or just once? I don't have an ice bath but I'm thinking maybe if I just take a really really hot shower and then hop out of my bathroom with the window open cuz I live in the North so it's cold outside, that might cut it? Or cold showers then sit by a radiant heat source? Thx for your time
about the salt, does it matter if its in a meal or should it be consumed with a liquid (for example in the time window 1 hour after your pre workout meal and 30 minutes before training)?
Right now on off days I like to practice active rest workouts. Short and easy just get the blood flowing but could I replace that with pure sled work on off days?
Can i ask you sonethink? In bench press how percentages press the triceps and how much percentages the back and chest ? Do the chest and back the main movement from the bottom and after the bottom the triceps do all the work?
dviking do you have anything to lose to implement some of those and see for yourself? Do you think that things becomes reality through peer reviewed studies? What if something noticably worked for you and your favorite study said it cant possibly be true?
So this might be my 2nd time overtraining my Muscles and while I was at the gym I could actually feel when it happened, my work out was harder to do & I felt Fatigued. Will my Muscles go back to normal?
Look up IASTM. Guasha is an ancient Chinese art form. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization is the more modern version, and more scientific, but I believe he's using the terms interchangeably...
@@WenningStrength I guess that's the fitness industry no one can agree on anything 😂 I'm 5 weeks into westside conjugate and I'm struggling severely with doms to the point I can barely put on socks . I gotta start taking recovery as seriously as my training

Wouldn’t tear your body down so much if you had more muscle. But maybe you shouldnt be swimming so much

Lactic acid is only present when the cell is in a negative oxygen balance. You feel it burn and when it stops burning, it's gone.

wtf is guasha? how do i do it?
Jeffery Lord they use a dull edged blade like tool to scrape muscle tissue. Should be done by a pro.
It's the same as jelqing. Look up jelqing.
Look up IASTM. Guasha is an ancient Chinese art form. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization is the more modern version, and more scientific, but I believe he's using the terms interchangeably...
The oriental message parlor is way better for recovery.
Scientific?? Lol
Sounds like Stan
✅✅✅
500mg of salt, I thought Stan Efferding said to take 1-2g per liter of water?
Baris Goker he does just going on the safe side
🙄
I think he meant sodium because 1g of salt does not equal 1g of sodium
Baking powder can kill you be very careful with dosages
A teaspoon of salt before you train then he talks about 500mg before and after you train
REM sleep? Are you sure you don’t mean deep sleep?
