Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ah that explains why despite my general level of poor fitness I have no problems skiing, I can leg press 260kg repeatedly with no problems

D G, When I weighed in at about 16 stone I was always pleasantly suprised how strong my legs were - until it was pointed out that they should be, as they were used to carrying me around all day

Boardski, Apparently the water should be cold - During the normal course of exercise our muscles suffer micro-tears and so the pain we experience after normal exercise (I'm not talking about acutal knocks!) - some people call it DOMS -the muscle ache is due to the body coping with these micro-tears. The cold water bath is supposed to work on the same principle as RICE. i.e. keep the body muscle cold so the "injury" to it doesn't worsen.
Which means, technically, a warm water bath is encouraging blood flow to these micro-tears in our muscles, which increases the swelling, which thereby worsens the pain we're gonna feel a few hours later.
Can't see anyone opting for the chilly bath, tho. Can you?

After running a marathon Paula Radcliffe will have a bath in ice water to repair the micro tears in the muscles the ice stops the tears from bleeding which apparently causes the muscle ache you get after exercise
