....the memory of ice baths makes me shudder. one too many times i had to dip my elbow/shoulder in them due to pitching in baseball.
imagine this, your elbows dipped in a tub full of freezing ass cold water.. while your hand is out of the water pointing up to the ceiling...
yea.. all that blood goes to the elbow, and it all goes numb..and took forever to get any feeling back towards my hand..
made the elbow/arm feel good though..prolly cos i couldnt feel it.. but yea, ya kno.. it worked god bless the trainers out there, lol.
i would guess its good for muscle relaxation.. but i also think ice cold water would cause an increase in lactic acid which would lead to more muscle soreness after the event?
im not too sure to be honest...
