Extra/recovery workouts advice

[Deciever]

instead of doing the extra workouts, would sittin in a hottub help about the same??

Deciever: no.

Active recovery is always superior to passive recovery.

damn, hottubs are so nice and relaxing... what if i brought my bands in the hottub and did some "hottub leg curls" with them or something?

 

[ZZuluZ]

Whoa......I gave you the wrong impression.

Passive recovery is still good!

Just that active recovery is better!

Do both

Screwball,

I do some recovery work with light bands for triceps chest and shoulders at least twice per week. When the weather is good, I try and pull a sled at least two or three times per week as well. I should do much more GPP, but there are only so many hours in a day, and I pride myself in never ever missing a gym workout. To get to the next level I may have to take just as much pride in never missing a GPP workout.

Bigokie,

I added some carpet to the bottom of my sled, and it is great. It increases the friction to a great degree, but the great thing is that it does not make noise when I drag it in my neighborhood. I got the idea from you. Thanks.

Wait a second. I thought i gave you that idea. Anyway as long as you got it from somebody. I just switched to an outdoor floor mat i found at home depot. The kind that is like fake grass and has long 1/2" plastic grass thingies. Not as much friction but no noise like the carpet. I think they both work great but go through them quickly.

For a fat guy...I'm actually in good cardio shape. Sled dragging is where it is at. I would be careful doing too much of the extra band work...it takes a lot more out of you than you think.
