SpeedBoy Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi everyone. I Hope I'm doing this right. Being my first post and all. I've heard and read a couple of things about sleeping with gloves or mittens on when grip training. unfortunatly it didn't explain the reason. Could anyone help me out on this top? And does it really help? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt76 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 increase blood circulation at night. Supposed to speed up recovery But for me any type of heat gave me arthritis for some reason and the mittens only hurt me. Most will say this can not be but for me it be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Increased circulation helps me, but not as much as contrast baths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towser Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'd back jeff up on this one Gloves helped me but contrast baths and dexterity balls are by far the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedBoy Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 And it really does help?...contrast baths and the gloves? I'll have to try them! Would this be everyday or when? OH. And do you guys use any heat lotion or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I only use heat liniment on my back, shoulders and knees, never on my hands or forearms. Contrast baths should be done at the least after every workout, but if you're up for it, do them every day. Active recovery like ball rotation should be every day. Mitten I'd say every night, although whoever you're sleeping next to might not like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
