Tips for fatigue and muscle soreness

It's too much everyday dude.

Try every other day.

Or, perhaps better, do the upper body one day and lower body the next.

 

Indeed you will get overtrained and your testosterone will suffer. I used to train 200 pullups a day and 500 push ups every other day with some other exercises between (abs legs) 6 days a week sometimes 7 and i got ill caused of overtraining. Keep it in moderation. You can train everyday but not that intense..

 

I don't know why but it was somehow always cold showers that got rid of my muscle soreness. I've been taking cold showers for over two months now and exercising every day and I see a big difference. Anyways, I would agree with the other guys saying that you over-train. Try scheduling your workouts in which you divide them and have a rest day in between. Your muscles need rest too. During your rest days you could for instance do cardio or light exercise or it's just up to you and how you deal with your body. Just try to not work on the same muscle group every day for a long time. Take lots of sleep 7-8 hours then eat the right food. Take a rest day right now bro..

 

I was persuaded to start doing cold showers. Been 3 weeks now I think. They are awesome!!

 

It's too much every day
More you do , more you need to rest , this type of stress should have a 2-3 days/or a full week of rest.
More pain doesn't means more gain , if you don't rest ; there are long times for muscle shelter

You don't do others muscular area? Like legs , shoulders , tricips, you can alternate

 

First of all, that's a lot of volume for everyday. You can do this routine a few times in a couple of months, but definitely not every single day.
Secondly, if you are feeling sore, don't workout. Just go for a walk or do some activity that is less demanding on your body. Our muscles build only after the soreness goes away, so if you train high volume and high intensity everyday then you will regress instead of progress.
Now, if you really are feeling very sore, you can buy a foam roller. That would help a lot. Also, eating ginger helps with soreness too.

 

I don't use the coldest water, I use as cold as I can stand it.

As for any science behind them, Google it, lol. I heard it's better for your skin and they were highly recommended to me by dudes much further along in NoFap on a Discord server that I am active on.

 

I don't turn on the heater of my shower lmao, that's how cold if you were wondering. You can try it, too. I started doing cold showers when I was 18 years old taking swimming lessons. My coach always required me to take a shower before heading into the pool. And the water from the shower is cold, there's no heater. The same way, after taking the shower you jump into the pool which is cold too but you definitely won't feel the shiver cause your body already got used to the cold temperature of the shower.

I got used to taking cold showers for 2 months because that's how long my lessons lasted. Moreover, I eventually stopped taking cold showers as soon as my swimming lessons ended in 2018. I only got back to it this year and I started doing it consistently ever since the mid of May.

Try doing some research about it, it has lots of benefits on your muscles and mental state (anxieties, depression, negative thoughts) and could be a very big impact to your journey as well as it eases your urges and temptations. Try it out yourself then you'll see a big difference.

A tip I could share on how to start doing it is try taking your shower with warm water first then eventually shifting to cold. You will panic but just go on. Keep going. Think about the benefits it'll give you, think of it as a supplement to NoFap and your muscles. Repeat it the next day. And the other day until it becomes a habit. You'll eventually just keep taking cold showers and love it. You will reap its benefits and keep doing it.

Until now I honestly still hate taking cold showers because you just don't feel comfortable on the first few seconds to a minute but eventually you'll get used to it.

Best of luck and cheers buddy.

 

Thanks man!

 

Cold showers immediately after exercise (and after stretching) will help. Also, make sure you have at least one rest day. I have mine on Sundays, and when I would usually workout I instead do a light yoga routine.
