Do you like to massage yourself after a workout?

[raraaas30]

When I workout most of the time I do not feel sore until the next day. To me being sore hurts yet feels soooo good. And when I treat myself to a massage on my sore muscles, especially when I use lotion, I feel like I'm in heaven. My muscles feel very relaxed and soothing once I do this. Have you had this experience as well?

I massage my biceps and stuff and flex in between sets and exercises to get rid of certain kinds of acid that build up and hinder progress and growth then I take a super hot shower and smoke my briar wood pipe or cigar afterwards its fantastic.

[raraaas30]

Do you feel that flexing between sets actually benefits you? I bet that routine is relaxing, it sounds amazing.

[Phoenix98]

Yes by flexing I'm tensing, stretching and keeping my muscles lose. And by relaxing I hope you mean tiring, painful and intense lol.

[Phoenix98]

The cigar and pipe and shower part is relaxing though.

[raraaas30]

Yeah I meant the part after the workout...once you're all tired as hell.

[Phoenix98]

Ya that part is very relaxing.

I use a foam roller and do stretches post workout. The muscles ache the next day yes but that's a good feeling :D I work out pretty intense - not growing any younger and I have a timeline set for results :D

[raraaas30]

You use the foam roller on sore muscles? (: and that's good keep up with the intense workouts, I'm sure you'll meet your goals :D

[HandsomeRaj]

Thank you for the good wishes and confidence young lady :) :)

I use it over the muscles / body parts I'm about to and have worked out whether sore or not :). They help improve circulation and muscular repair

[sovetskii13]

No. I don't like massages. But I do some stretching.

Massaging yourself during a workout is actually proven to increase circulation to the muscles resulting in faster recovery and muscle growth.

YouTube is life

[raraaas30]

I did not know that. I just massage my muscles because it feels good. Nice to know. YouTube is a pretty good resource for learning.

I don't massage myself just relax in the hot tub after a workout.

[raraaas30]

That sounds delightful, I should try that.

[biggie90]

Try it:P

[Metal189]

you just turned every single guy on here, on

[raraaas30]

How? It was certainly not my intention to do so.

[Metal189]

i doubt that

[raraaas30]

I really do not see how this question is a "turn on". I simply asked if people like to massage themselves after working out.

[Metal189]

are u a cheerleader? ur username kind of reminds me of one

[Metal189]

and..i think you do, and you refuse to answer it

[raraaas30]

No I'm not a cheerleader. And I honestly don't see how, if you don't believe me then whatever.

[Metal189]

oh ok. and ya

[raraaas30]

I could see why you'd think I'm a cheerleader though, I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out.

[Metal189]

lol. sorry, you know how us guys can be around cheerleaders (or ones we think would be)

[GoldCobra]

Do you massage yourself? You would have to get someone to do it for you but that costs money lol

[raraaas30]

Yeah (: like on my legs. And if I want to massage my arms or back, I have my friend do it. haha

[Anonymous]

I much prefer to have someone else massage me.

[raraaas30]

That is a good idea, too bad I don't have anyone to massage me. I would assume that it feels more relaxing when someone else does it for you.

For sure! Absolutely incredible. Best way to get sore muscles to recover.
