Suite à vos posts, j'ai vu que Thibaudeau était contre le principe d'un jour totalement Off.
Donc petite recherche sur T Nation et voilà ce que le monsieur nous propose pour une meilleure récupération musculaire et nerveuse :
Restoration Modalities
To make the most out of this training program you must maximize muscle and neural recovery. This is especially important considering the high frequency of pressing work as well as the high level of intensity. Some useful techniques include:
. Cryokinetics : This technique refers to ice massage. Put some baby oil on your muscle (to prevent shock) and put ice in the middle of your muscle belly. Start to gently massage the muscle in circular motion with the ice. Gradually increase the diameter of the circles. Do this for 2-3 minutes for your chest, triceps and anterior deltoids.
. Walking : Take a 45-60 minute walk, preferably in a calm or pleasing setting. Go slow as to not fatigue yourself; all we want is to activate peripheral blood flow which will facilitate recovery.
. Contrast showers : Alternate between 30 seconds of cold water (as cold as you can stand) and 2 minutes of hot water. Perform this cycle 3-4 times and make sure that your chest, shoulders and arms receive the treatment.
. Sauna : Once or twice per week you can use a sauna to help with regeneration. Stay in the sauna for 5-10 minutes (no more) and avoid moving (lie down if possible). After your sauna, go take a short contrast shower of 20-40 seconds of cold water and 1-2 minutes of warm (not hot) water.
. Deep tissue massage : If available to you, a weekly sports massage can make a drastic difference in your rate of progress. It can help with recovery (slightly), but more importantly, it can help break down adhesions in the muscles which can decrease its contractile strength. Ideally you’d use a therapist certified in Active Release Technique (ART) on Friday. If you can’t afford ART, a deep tissue massage will still be of value.

Mais si ça intéresse qqn y'a pas de problèmes je peux m'en charger!
