Do you have Popeye-shaped calves? -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 2:07 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Top 10 Super Rant (was Friday Rant)
Don't mess with a skier :) Lactic acid is caused by lack of oxygen in your blood. By constricting muscles you stop the flow of blood and limit the oxygen. The longer you hold the more the burn. Once the constriction stops, the blood flows again and the burn will stop. The burn is not the soreness you feel hours later. As a skier I trained two ways. One was to work the same muscle groups, like the leg. I would also sit against a wall without a chair until I couldn't take the burn. This would train your body to force blood through the constricted tissue. Next method, usually two days later, was to do a lower body muscle then an upper body muscle and keep switching. This trained my body to quickly redistribute oxygen rich blood to the area that needed it. I don't know how long it takes to flush the acid for non-skiers but it only took seconds for me:) Point is if someone complains they're sore after working out I imagine it's ripped tissue and not the burn of acid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:157763 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
