-i don't know, thats why i'm asking?
-does it decrease muscular development?
-the label doesnt say
1. I can tell you, not from a book or some study I've read, that we (the former AIS weightlifters), used to on occasions go over to the sauna for like you've said, 5-10 or so minutes and THEN, take a cold water deep. We were following the eastern block way of training at the time and used what I've just mentioned to speed up recovery. Now, did it work? who knows! Did we lift giant weights? Hell yeh! Was it detrimental to our strength and muscle mass? If it was, I was too busy lifting big to notice!
Fadi.
Some elite hockey and soccer trainers have them players to take ice baths after hard workouts couse it should reduce the recover time, a Personal Trainer teacher told me on my course that some weightlifters do that too and he showed some studies that had proof it did.

Ideally, I wanna be able to do 3x12 reps of PERFECT form chins, 8 is hard enough, so I've been trying them with BW + 5kg, I do 5 reps then drop it and the last 3 reps are easy hahahaha. If they're easy you should try adding weight!I can imagine that Morgan. I find that I have to go heavy on the Lat Pull Down to really get me. Weighing 76kg, Pull Ups are pretty easy.
