That wont relax your muscles. You can do some soft-tissue work after to help with recovery. Or use the hot-tub and stretch out. But the foam roller soft tissue work is the best option. |

I tend to have my clients wait 5 minutes or so after weight training (depending on the CNS emand) before going for soft tissue type therapy. Stretching is also an obvious way of "relaxing" muscles. Swimming at a low impact level will help with lactic acid and decrease DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Also, swimming alleviates a lot of gravity from your body. This should help you efficiently use (prehab) ancillary and stabilizer muscles around your "ball and socket" joints. |

| Ya and along with that it will hurt your gains. If you must do it get a nice big PWO shake in before the pool. And anotherone after. |

| It will not hurt your gains. You should be just fine. I would not swim more than 20 minutes here. If you trained more than 45 minutes than a PWO should be used. All you need is a small amount of protein (or just BCAA capsules) and simple sugar with electrolytes (gatorade). |
