Title: Sauna, steam and cycle..?
Post by: Minihulk on September 11, 2006, 04:19:54 PM


   Hey fella's this is probably a stupid question but will sitting in a sauna or steam room for ten to fifteen minutes hurt your cycle or lessen your gains...cause I start my workout with 10 minutes of running on a treadmill then about a hour and a half workout(specific bodypart) then another fifteen minutes of cardio on a bicycle..then consume pwshake and sit in the 190 degree sauna for 10 minutes

I really dont see how it could hurt.

Might help sweat some toxins out of your body.

Also might help any injection pain you might have.

no i wouldnt see any problem with that.

not sure about running 10 min. before the workout...especially if your workouts are that long...does fatigue set in during the workout?

its a good idea to get your heart rate going before you train but i would rather walk for 3-5 minutes to acomplish that...a 10 min. run seems like a bit much...i wouldnt want to start depleting my glycogen stores before the training session.

  No fatigue doesnt set in...i really really want to cut up....i have about 7% body fat but i have about a pinch of fat on my lower abs..but no where else.... but i need more striations...thought the sauna would relax me but after it i feel drained and depleted..was hoping that it would effect the gear...

the reason why i am doing it is because i also read a article in a bb magazine that it makes your muscles heavier and bigger=100 to 110 degrees of heat post workout

I would never use the sauna at any gym I've ever been in, that is where all the gays hang out. The don't work out they just hang out in there.

LOL.... It's not going to hurt anything sitting in a sauna it has nothing to do with your cycle.... it will help relax your muscles after a workout.

                                              were do people come up with this shit?  ;D

I didn't say it would hurt anything, I just don't see why anyone would want to sit around with a bunch of gay guys, there must be a better way to relax. How about a hotel hot tub with some pretty tourists?

For the last 7 years I have had my own in-ground pool and spa, and after learning the maintenance and how chemicals clean and balance the water, I have or will NEVER GO IN ANY POOL OR SPA OTHER THAN MINE...

Too fucking dirty

Piss, Shit, Boogers, Spit, Sweat, Its all fucking sick

And do you think the chlorine or bromine cleans it instantly? NO
