Your risk

[ThePatriot]

After a good workout do anyone think there is any risk involved in using the hot tube at the gym? What kind of negative affects do you think can happen when youve had a tiring workout and sit in a hot tube while on gear? Just thought about it. Would like to hear some info on it.

I think it would relax ur muscles alot but after I work out Im always hot so I would wait like 1 hour.

Just my opinion

lol..you mean hot 'tub'...i'm like hot tube? wtf... Well like the other bro said, the heat will relax your muscles.. If you are training pretty hardcore splits, you may benefit from them.. I don't think its a bad idea..

Should I get in the hot tub....gunna make me wet! Should I get in the hot tub...gunna make me sweat (couldn't resist a little SNL Eddie Murphy humor

Anyway Bro, my general take is that the effect should be no different with gear than W/O. It does chill you and a good sweat always helps to clean your system...I like hitting the sauna for 5 minutes, maybe hit some push ups in there) and get a good sweat going, then hit the pool to cool down...I do this about 4 times, 5 minutes in each place and feel great! I am not sure if there is any physiological reason for that or not, but it feels great! The only down side the gym Hottub is that I personally feel it is a swamp of filth....old ladies and kids pissin themselves in there.....germs, bacteria........yikes! make sure you shower when you are done.....stat!!

I wont use a public accessible hot tub for the reasons above, while I'm sure the chlorine will kill most bacteria I'm still skiddish. There was an article last year out of the miami dolphins training camp about a staph infection that was believed passed through the sharing of the hot tubs. It caused open painful sores that sent some to the hospital

the only thing about using it while being on would be if you have higher blood pressure while on. You may get feeling light headed and dizzy - just have to watch yourself.

Outside of that I see no reason what the diff would be.

[crewboss]

i agree w/ deacon. the only real concern i would have is my blood pressure.

Sorry I couldn't resist. Being a little older, and concerned with BP on gear. I agree with others.be careful. It's probally no big deal, but I would cool down a little first. (and of course there is the germ thing, Ouffa.)
