You've all been hitting it hard recently and it shows! You guys are complete beasts, but even beasts need to simmer down every once in a while. Dallas says "the primary fault lies within inadequate or improper recovery from exercise, not the type or intensity of exercise". That may be the reason some of you are here at the gym more often than others.
Think about it for a second- when's the last time you practiced some mobilization on your own? Didn't you feel better afterward? Were there meals you should have avoided and didn't, then paid for lack of energy come CrossFit? What about the dreaded dehydration symptoms like cotton-mouth, aches and pains, headaches or general sh!ttiness?
Whole 9 has a great article about 9 Things to Do When You're All Banged Up. I suggest you go read to understand why
- Taking extra rest days can actually improve performance
- Myofascial release (professional massage or self) is the key to releasing tightness and inflammation
- Hot compresses & Cold packs can prevent or further delay injury
- Sleeping is (again!) another important factor is becoming more like Jason Khalipa
- You should leave the ibuprofen and NSAIDs alone
Are all helpful and beneficial in making you a better athlete. This read is essential!
What are you doing regularly to recover?
