How Do You Guys Deal With After Training Stiffness

do you have stiffness from heavy weight lifting or is it from overtraining your muscles.

the best thing you can do is have the appropriate diet.

yoga is a good as well..

 

stop training for 4 hours, your energy stores should be depleted after an hour of good training, 4 hours!!! are you crazy

 

How are you training for 4 hours? I dont understand we usually do 1 1/2-2hour sessions but pretty intense. If you were doing it for 4hours surely youd get cold at certain points?

 

Always make sure to get adequate hydration all throughout your workout, usually by taking small sips of water in between rounds. Afterwards, get some post work-out static stretching, a proper warm-down, and a meal. Also, if available, maybe spend some time in the sauna and get a quick massage.

 

just do 90 mins training then dont do no more, just chill out until your mate is done, your muscles need rest after training

 

28's about when I started slowing down as well.
On top of not spending 4 hours in the gym, my trick has been mixing up intensity.
Monday & Thursday are yoga (1 hr) with a short weight workout (<30 min).
Tuesday is an hour long high intensity interval session.
Wednesday is a med-high intensity workout centered around bag work, skills work, and basics (~1.5 hrs)
Saturday is a med-high intensity workout centered around pad work and sparring (2+hrs)
Sunday and Friday are rest.

 

I normally just rub one out, that tends to get rid of any stiffness.

 

Contrasting shower (warm/cold)

 

does that actually work, can you elabarote more on what to do exacty

WATER THERAPY: Another great post-workout recovery technique is to take an epsom salt bath. The theory behind the salt baths is they help remove excess positive hydrogen ions from the blood, which are created by exercise and the production of lactic acid.
You can also soak any painful body parts in cold water or ice water (if you can stand the pain). This will help reduce inflammation. Standing in a lake or the ocean after a race is a favourite technique of many runners.
Contrast showers are another useful recovery method. You simply alternate between running hot and cold water onto different areas of your body. The idea here is to promote blood flow to the area thus removing waste by-products and delivering oxygen and nutrients. (I prefer epsom salt baths myself. They're much less painful.)
