How to speed up muscle recovery?

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?

Take some steroids i hear that helps

Some deep tissue massage also works nicely.

More food

:woohoo: HAHAHAHA

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

: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.

Ice man - Is this ... umm...ice? :blush:

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.

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?
