Wakin up Stiffness

[Lees Dragon]

do you ever wake up and your body is all stiff?
and you feel like: 'ok...no trickin today cause i'm all stiff'

Can you help me with this.
possible reasons? way to get body psyched up and ready to flex?

i dunno why but usually on the days after i try to "trick" and practice i wake up stiff.

[Zyndrof]

Yeah, every morning.

do you ever wake up and your body is all stiff?
yes.

possible reasons?
at night your body temperature lowers down.
and in the morning your spine is longer than in the evening ( because of the discs ).

i dunno why but usually on the days after i try to "trick" and practice i wake up stiff.
because you are a bit sore.

I've been waking up with constant DOMS for the past two weeks now so I know what you mean. But otherwise, what Dobi said fits the picture. You actually grow abit when you sleep and then compress yourself the same length after getting up.

having DOMS may be fun for a while, but then you realise it is making you vastly weaker and less flexible. Take nutritional steps to speed your recovery, and try contrast showers, too. Reducing DOMS is very worthy.

branling increases the branle of your body, branleh. branle every morning and you will feel much more branle than before.

2 questions:
What is DOMS?
and i shower every night right before i go to sleep, does that have anything to do with the stiffness?

[Dobi]

What is DOMS?
Delayed onset muscle soreness

and i shower every night right before i go to sleep, does that have anything to do with the stiffness?
no.

the problem could be you are training often and not eating well enough for you body to recover properly. Or you arent warming down and stretching after exercise.

most guys wake up stiff..... sorry ino, bad joke. But anyway, that happened to me a lot before, all you have to do is warm down after your tricking session. Thats what worked for me anyway :)

This is actually true.

[Anima]

yeah, thats why you wake up in the morning with wood, cause uve been missing out on all the branleh.

i wake up in the morning really stiff sometimes .........i just try to start moving around attempt to stretch and just get my body warmedup

[twist]

if youre sore, then thats usually good it means your body is healing but you should be training correctly so you can rest your body the most efficient way possible i.e. warm up/cool down effectively (actaully get a sweat going and slightly exert yourself) and stretch good

[moose_lee]

I get stiff as well in the mornings. But I've always dealt with it by stretching and doing just some minor warm up stuff in the morning.

The body is a lot like a car in cold weather. You cant just go out, turn it on and drive like a mad-man. Or even a somewhat normal-man. You have to warm the car up first, get the fluids going and circulating. Same goes for the body.
