after a workout what would you recomend to relax and ease the tension
The Sauna, Hot Tub or Steam Room??
Bases on what I read its Hot Tub or Sauna. The source I read called steam rooms a waste of time. Wasnt sure what to think so wanted to ask the board for suggestions.
-
My gym doesnt have a steam room. sauna is nice, especially in the winter. not sure what it does for ease of tension, but it sure feels good :)
-
ice cold shower!
-
swim in a nice cold pool.
heard this is what arnold liked as well.
saunas and hot showers make me ever more tired!

yeah i never liked the idea of getting dehydrated post workout... but i do occasionaly use the sauna for stretching
-
yeah, for stretching it would be good.
after i scrup my body underneath the hot water; i always turn it to ice cold. closes up the pores and makes for better looking skin....also i feel refreshed, and awake after doing so.

Saunas and steam rooms are great but I would go for the hot tub as I've heard it can help increase testosterone levels. Not sure if the other two do as well but if they do, then all the better.

never use public hot tubs... most gyms that had them have torn them out the risk of infection is far to high
-
Sauna's are the only ones I know of that have clear health benefits.
The heat increases blood flow, and helps the body recover, great to do after workout, make sure to drink water though.
The heat also manages to kill off slight infections.

Agree.
Having worked in health clubs, I can tell you that you could not pay me to get in a gym hot tub.
-
Agree.

but i could pay you to get into my private one? :P

just the idea of you in a hot tub would get me into the most disgusting public one you could find... :)
-
Recently my hot water system broke so for the last few days I've been having cold baths. My ass still feels numb.

Cut out the trolling. What you think in this regard is less than irrelevant.

Please excuse me as I butt in all rude with myself, but if it matters at all I took no offense to WOOO's comment, and really just thought it was a light hearted non-offensive post, not trolling. Sorry if this is not my place to say, but as a chick I just can't contain my opinions at times, you know how we are :D

what the fuck i thougth cq was big muscular guy?? i remember seeing pics of him with striated delts..i remember this! decent legs to!

Now this is trolling >:(!

candidatit is gay.
as expected.

Isn't it dangerous to run cold water on a hot body with opened pores?
-
what do you mean trolling? i seriously remember a picture of some big shredded guy...looked like an iffbb comp...and i am pretty sure i recall it being cq.

I was joking about the trolling candidate, no worries...
You definitely remember totally wrong. There has never even been a pic of guy posted and said it was me as a joke or anything, it's been pretty well known I'm a chick here for years. If anyone still thinks I am a guy, I must come across totally fruity hanging all over the girls fitness board, talking about makeup at times etc...haha :o

i am thinking of the guy that took the pictures of alexxx the first time at that gym... i thought that was you

CQ... could you post a current pic?

LOL you mean Stavios, well that's a first......I've been confused with many in my online days, but never him :D
CQ... could you post a current pic?
Actually I never post pics, I am semi low key like that...I avoid cameras more than I avoid the seated calf machine and that's saying something. There is a crappy pic of me floating around the getbig pm network though, unfortunately I have a peculiar looking smirky smile in it, but it could be worse I guess :o
-
CQ... could you post a current pic?
I also tried to get one from the island girl to see what she looks like..............but no luck >:( :( :'(

back to the topic at hand...
i seem to remember reading something about heat stress increasing protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy...
gonna google it...
-
The articles below (they are abstracts the complete articles are available online) seem to indicate that it's the opposite... where the hell did I read this?
MD?

Protein synthesis and protein phosphorylation during heat stress, recovery, and adaptation
RF Duncan and JW Hershey
Department of Biological Chemistry, University of California School of Medicine, Davis 95616.
Incubating cells at elevated temperatures causes an inhibition of protein synthesis. Mild heat stress at 41-42 degrees C inhibits the fraction of active, polysomal ribosomes from greater than 60% (preheating) to less than 30%. A return to 37 degrees C leads to an increase in protein synthesis, termed "recovery." Continuous incubation at 41-42 degrees C also leads to a gradual restoration of protein synthesis (greater than 70% of ribosomes reactivated by 2-4 h), termed "adaptation". Protein synthesis inhibition and reactivation is prestressed, recovered cells that contain elevated levels of the heat stress proteins occur to the same extent and at the same rate as in "naive" cells. The adaptation response requires transcription of new RNA whereas recovery does not. A large number of phosphorylation changes are induced by severe heat stress and occur with kinetics similar to the inhibition of protein synthesis. These include phosphorylation of eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor (eIF)- 2 alpha and dephosphorylation of eIF-4B and eIF-4Fp25 (eIF-4E). However, the extent to which the modification occurs is proportional to the severity of the stress, and, under mild (41-42 degrees C) heat stress conditions, these initiation factor phosphorylation changes do not occur. Similarly, under conditions of severe heat stress eIF-2 alpha and eIF-4B frequently recover to their prestress phosphorylation state before the recovery of protein synthesis. eIF-4E dephosphorylation likewise does not occur under mild heat stress conditions. Therefore, these changes in phosphorylation states, which are thought to be sufficient cause, are not necessary for the inhibition of protein synthesis observed.

Abstract
Aedes albopictus (clone C6/36) cells, which normally grow at 28°C, were maintained at a supraoptimal temperature of 37°C. The effect of continuous heat stress (37°C) on cell growth was analyzed as were the modifications occurring with protein synthesis during short- and long-term heat stress. We observed that cells in lag or exponential growth phase, present inhibition of cell growth, and cells in the lag phase showed more sensitivity to death than cells growing exponentially. During the first hour of exposing the cells to 37°C, they synthesized two heat shock proteins (hsps) of 82 kd and 70 kd, respectively, concomitant with inhibition of normally produced proteins at control temperature (28°C). However, for incubations longer than 2 hr at 37°C, a shift to the normal pattern of protein synthesis occurred. During these transitions, two other hsps of 76 kd and 90 kd were synthesized. Pulse chase experiments showed that the 70-kd hsp is stable at least for 18 hr, when the cells are returned to 28°C. However, if cells were incubated at 37°C, the 70-kd hsp is stable for at least 48 hr. The 70-kd hsp was localized in the cytoplasmic and in the nuclear compartment. OUr results indicate a possible role of hsp 70-kd protein in the regulation of cell proliferation.
