Have you guys ever gotten a deep tissue massage before? I got one yesterday for my back and now I'm all sore.
Would you say it's better than foam rolling, or does foam rolling have some other benefit that I don't know?
>tfw the massage therapist commented that I looked good, like I've been working out hard.
It someone thinks someone paid to touch you that relies on tips complimenting you is a legit compliment.... Brah, they want a big tip, that's all, not that little tip you keep in your pants
It was a family friend I haven't seen for a while, and the rest of the conversation reflected that. Not really the type to bullshit, so I'd like to believe it was pretty genuine.
Oh yeah, that seems more legit for sure, those are some of the best mirins in my opinion when you haven't seen someone in a while and that seem generally surprised at your progress.
Although it is kinda awkward getting a massage from someone you know. I'd have rather it was a stranger or something. At least then I don't have to see them again and be like "Hey remember when you rubbed oil all over me and beat the shit out of my muscles? Good times..."
Still, the mirin' was nice.
I hope your therapist said that massage is equally stresses your muscles when comparing to working out especially deep tissue massage. He/she basically found new muscles/muscle fibers that you havent used enough so they get sore easy.
So soreness is fine just dont train for 1-2 days after massage and let your muscle recover fully.

Get into a real STEM field that actually teaches you how the body works faggot and stop spouting nonsense
English isnt my main language but i try my best
The whole point of massage is to enhance your metabolism so that your body can recover the muscles being massaged. And the reason they havent recovered is because metabolism doesnt work.
But it removed knots and is supposed to help blood flow right? I'm giving it a few days because I'm so sore, but it feels like I've got Doms throughout my entire upper body.
Yes and those knots are tight muscle fibers whose metabolism doesnt work for some reason
