Thread: moneys worth at fancy gym

The problem is, is that im currently mass gaining and was just wondering whether a quick swim and sauna after ive trained would do more harm than good.

Well that depends on how long there's between the last time you've eaten and
how long you workout. let's say you eat your pre-training meal at 1:00pm
and you are at the gym by 2:00pm and you are finished before 3:30, you could take a quick dip, but I would recommend not to wait longer than 2-2:30hours after you've last eaten. A good solution would be a nice Shake at the gym, just after your work out, but I don't know whether you can hold that in during swimming. I think It's best to mix it with your Cardio training, that you might do in the early morning or late at night. that takes less time, so more time for you to hit the pool and sauna.

swimming is one of the best sports you can do as far as total body workout, it will stretch out all of your muscles for you. if your worried about burning too many cals since your on a bulk, just don't go to hard.

as for the sauna all that will do is make you sweat!
