Compression wear

[Tapeworm]

From the underarmour website:

"It‘s the original strategic compression suit built to help athletes recover after a workout or game. It‘s proven to deliver 50% less muscle soreness and fatigue and 50% faster muscle repair."

Quite a claim.  That'd be better than a gram a week, no?

[NarcissisticDeity]

I enjoy muscle soreness  who the fuck wants to cut it half?

[robcguns]

That shit is fucking stupid as well as tights,tapered leg sweats,finger toe shoes and knee high socks oh and flat brim hats.

Seriously,if you don’t like muscle soreness you should quit lifting.Whenever a friend of mine would say they wanted to start lifting then they get really sore and say they hate it I would know this is not for them.

It's the faster recovery claim I have a hard time with.  But if it's true I've been missing out on the single greatest training aid ever invented.

[Go 4 It]

I believe those claims, the chicks at my gym wear them, they are some how able to train legs/glutes everyday, I wear hanes sweatpants and when I train legs I cant walk correctly for 2-3 days. How are these girls recovering so rapidly?

I'm guessing they have less estrogen than you do.

Probably the result of a study founded by... underarmour ?

Thank you I thought it was just me getting older but I hate that shit as well and for the record suits should fit correct whats with these tight suits and the slacks look like skinny jeans

I agree with everything you said except the compression pants.I wear them when I do legs and when I run or do fast paced cardio at the gym.
I do believe they help prevent soreness.

get the fuck back over on the y board it needs its mods without you its anarchy

Compression absolutely helps with soreness.

If you carry 100lbs 10 miles one day and know your legs are going to be taxed the next day via something else, there's nothing wrong with wearing compression to try to recover quicker.

Obviously, it's not as manly as "taking the pain" from the excruciating battle of lactic acid build up from lying hamstring curls.....

Rear delt isolation, leg extensions, side laterals and tricep kickbacks are not a joke, man.  Try to be serious for once.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Do they soak their clothes in test and tren?

[Tennisballz]

This is the same type of stuff you get from the supplement industry.  Stupid claims for stupid consumers.

[ESFitness]

Well, Playing devil's advocate, you think you could apply the same Theory does taking ice baths post training. Ice baths cause everything took entrapped and in theory squeezing out lactic acid and toxins and all that shit and whatever else.

I dunno... from a performance standpoint I can see them helping the same way wearing a bench-shirt (or even just a tight tee-shirt), even if it's just psychological.

Personally I can't stand the shirts, as I feel like I'm being choked wearing one. I do wear compression socks occasionally, especially at night.also Gotta few pair of red over-the-knee soccer socks (made by UA, just so happens), that aren't meant to be compression socks but they sure do feel like them. They're XL mens, but I have no clue how anybody would manage you get these stretched over top soccer shin guards no matter how much fucking baby powder you used.

Except compression is effective.

[ratherbebig]

well what qualifies for compression? would a pair of nike pro/underwear boxers do?

[CalvinH]

Compression wear is so popular that the people that don't wear it are the weirdos.
