Leg day destroyed me. What are your go-to recovery methods? Ice baths or active rest?

Active rest for sure. A light walk helps clear the soreness.

I swear by Epsom salt baths. Cheap and effective.

Carbs and sleep. Everything else is secondary.

How many grams of carbs do you aim for post-workout?

Herbertysnilm · Post by **Herbertysnilm** » Sun Jan 25, 2026 5:40 am

Around 100g of fast-digesting carbs immediately after.

I prefer white rice. Easy on the stomach.

Don't forget hydration. Electrolytes are huge.

Is there any merit to compression gear?

Helps with blood flow. I wear sleeves during sleep sometimes.
