    Muscle Recovery

    Has anyone used any special shakes, vitamins, veggies or what not to be able to ski more. I like to ski 5 days a week, and during the weeks we get dumped on maybe 7. So I need some help with recovering, I was thinking a natural way. Suggestions?

    HGH?

    Or how about eating a healthy, natural diet, stretching, drinking a lot of water, and getting enough sleep?

    Some of this other crap may work too.

    Salonpas for the sore spots, lots of water, proper diet, and stretching. A day off works wonders as well.

    get some BCAA's (branched chain amino acids) and glutamine for muscle recovery. If you are cramping hit some kind of electrolyte blend.
    Beta alanine is great too. Works kinda like creatine without the water bloat. Gets the lactic acid out quick and helps with endurance.

    HGH and roids are the shit but it gets expensive.
    Eat some pasta, smoke some rasta and go much fasta.

    Lots of rest (9-10 hours) and massages work wonders for me.

    Fuck a lot at the end (or beginning) of each day.



    It may not help with muscle recovery, but it is worth a try.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...    iscariot

    If you're under 18, you can recover overnight. If not, it takes 1-2 days, or even more, depending on how much muscle breakdown occurred.

    It is really important to have the rebuilding blocks in your body immediately after the exercise.

    Alcohol impairs recovery because your body metabolizes it first.

    Instead, drink some nutrient potions during and immediately after your exercise.

    As your fitness level increases, you can stack up more days before you produce a comparable amount of breakdown as at a lower fitness level.

    Getting stronger fast depends on a reasonable breakdown and a full recovery.

    There you have the lessons of high end climbing applied to skiing.

    A full time job works for me.
    Not the method of recovery I would recommend though.

    Hammer nutrition product called recoverite. Glutamine based. Works great for keeping muscles from getting too sore. Comes powdered, drink it right after skiing, work-out ect. Go to hammernutrition.com.

    The obvious answer is whey isolate right after the day is over, and mid day if possible. That will spead recovery and repair. A lot of the other stuff will just make your muscles "feel" repaire. Only protein and electrolytes will help in the long term.
