Sharing for the weight lifters/biohackers.

Just an anecdote but there might be something in this.

Prior to getting my infrared sauna and upgrading to an Eight Sleep bed cooler I had stalled out on the overhead press AGAIN (for the third time at the exact same weight!!!) and began ANOTHER deaload.

Today, attempting a heavy single PR the bar moved with about 6/10 effort to lock out. I could hardly believe it. It moved so easily I tried (and failed) a second rep that set. Then rested up and attempted (and successful hit) 4 more heavy singles at the same weight.

Previously I had stalled at this weight and been unable to get ONE rep. Today, 5 and none of them were more than a 7.5/10 effort.

I will post an update. Maybe it was a fluke. We’ll see.

FWIW I have a SUPER fucked up shoulder (I tore it badly in my early 20s and it has never healed—surgery could make it WORSE—it’s kind of hanging on by a thread) which causes constant pain and discomfort and holds back my upper body lifts. It IS possible that the infrared sauna is helping more with my fucked up shoulder than it is with muscle recovery.

Either way, I wanted to share.

Will post an update in a few sessions.

Love ya,
Steven

I have a muscle illness that causes general pain. I sleep under a 3 foot infrared electric blanket. If that blanket is on my legs for a week my leg pain is almost gone and my upper body pain is why I take my medication. When the blanket is on my upper body for a week my upper body pain is almost gone and my leg pain is why I’m taking pain medicine. So infrared definitely works in certain situations. I also use it as a TMJ treatment using a lamp. It’s too warm for me to use 2 blankets though.

What brand of infrared sauna do you have? I’m deciding between MiHIGH and HigherDOSE, but I’m open to other suggestions. I’ll check out that bed cooler, too.
