I am not sure if I should start a new thread for this, but it is on literally the exact same topic as this one so I figured I would post it here.
Anyways, my main question is around timing of massages. I have never included massages as part of training until the last couple weeks. Right now my HI days are MWF, and I have been getting massages on Tuesday and Fridays. I know that Charlie recommended to get deeper massages on low intensity days, so I think optimally, massage on Tuesday/Saturday would be better, but my therapist doesn’t work Saturdays. I could do Tuesday and Sunday, but I thought it would be better to have the massages more spaced out over the week. I also think that in the grand scheme of things, actually getting the massage work done is probably more important than the timing of it. What do you guys think?
On other days, from what I have read here, contrast baths/showers should go on HI days, and pulsing EMS can go on these days, and likely low intensity days as well.
One other question, what is the consensus on epsom salt baths? When I searched, there was some concern that it lowered the muscle tone too much, so I wasn’t sure where the best place to put something like this would be?
