Ice baths

Where do you put them hands love? Be honest.

I assume you are talking to me because I doubt you'd dare call anyone else around here 'love'.

I also assume you are talking about me beating the beaver in the middle of a tub of ice.

So, if I am assuming correctly...

WHAT THE ****? Man I thought I was into kinky ****. If you wanna get jiggy in an ice bath that's just nasty. What's the point if you're so numb you can't feel anything?

what about the shin splints? are they gone?

Wow, the conversation directed towards Markeeta, rather humorous, but in a way also sick,lol. You guys got me a little interested in these Ice baths now, especially after a grueling session of training...

Yes boys. Control yourself, there is a lady in the room ;-)

My shin splints are gone but my knees are ****ed. Ha! I'm about to go for a two hour run and I know what I'll be getting into at the end (yes sicko, interpret that how you want).

Keep doing your physio exercise and them knees will get better love, trust me. Hang in there, I did for 3 years and now I am back to fitness. And don't worry if you get numb, I'll sort that right out no matter how cold it is. Just say please darling, just say please!

On a more serious note, does anyone know if you are meant to put bath foam in the water when you have one of these? I mean is it meant to be your proper wash too? I am always confused. I never liked putting upper body and freezing ******* so I always just filled it up to legs, and dipped in arms by side. Never bent the legs and dipped in body apartr from first time and it was HORRIBLE. Before the ice bath I have a hot shower because I though if you did it after, you won't be cold for as long and might undo effects. Have I got it right way round? Or should you do hot shwoer after to warm up again? Also, don't forget about the bath foam and floating duck, do you put them in?

[Lenny McLean]

p.s. I wasn't sure so I used the bath foam anyway.

I have my hot shower after. dunno what is good though.

[Lenny McLean]

Probably before. If it's after I think it will undo the good work for sure. You just want to get hot again I bet.
