It's AMA Friday with TJ & Helen answering your questions!
☝️Do ice baths actually work? 🧊
In short, yes but it depends!
For short-term recovery, they're solid 👊. Research shows reduced soreness and DOMS within 24-48 hours compared to control groups. Ice baths would be great if you need to perform back to back!
The catch? If building muscle and strength is your goal, you may want to think twice about doing it directly after training. A 2024 study found ice baths right after resistance training can interfere with muscle growth.
✌️If stretching doesn't prevent injuries… why do we still do it? 🤸♂️
Stretching isn't useless but the evidence for it preventing injuries is pretty weak. What it does do is improve range of motion that you may need, and helps increase flexibility. Make sure you're training into your new gained range in order to keep it!
