Ouch! My quads are screaming from that gym session. Tried a few new explosive exercises today. Going to continue to emphasize this this season bc I definitely was getting off the blocks faster and more cleanly the majority of last season. Heading upstairs to put on compression tights now before I forget.

    The theory is that they improve recovery by improving blood circulation, removing of blood lactates and reducing swelling. Some people swear by them. I'm not really sure and the benefit it hard to quanify. They may help at the margins, but they don't negate the muscle damage from a hard weights workout. My quads are still really sore this am.
