Half the warmth

Nope.well you’re half right but you need to do a search on here about cooldown and also look into some sport/ physiotherapy sites because most sport professionals will now use ‘cooldown’s’ after a game to aid recovery & minimize injury in a far superior way to heat.

Tennis & Rugby players actually take it to the extreme and jump in a big tub filled with ice and stay in it for 5 minutes or so and this has reduced injuries and sped up their recovery times considerably.

But I don’t have any of the scientific proof of this to hand.

I’ve also heard of wrestlers doing this as it helps to toughen the muscles, and also provides numbing to any pain.

I’ve never seen the need to warm wrap after a session as it loosens the fibres. What you need to do is contract the fibres when you’re done, which is why ice or cold water is better.

I was a lot better of the warm up/down when I did stretching and jelqing and I think it is very important if you do serious stretching.

Today, I do clamping only and I do not think warming up/down is as important for this exercise. I guess that is why I am cheating. Am I wrong?

The only way you’re cheating is to cheat your own gains… are you? I hope not!
