- Okay, today, Brad, we're going to show you, the audience.
- Yes.
- The top three ways, three.
- I go like this, because my fingers
don't work like that either.
- Three ways for me to perform muscle recovery
when they get sore.
- So, you're saying you personally?
- Me, right. My top three.
- I think that it's worth exploring.
- Is that clear?
♪ Bob and Brad ♪
♪ The two most famous ♪
♪ Physical therapists ♪
♪ On the internet ♪
- All right, Brad, number one. This is a strange one.
- Would you? Yeah, I know what you're going to say
and it's almost sadistic.
- Yeah, it is a little bit.
I call it the half and half cold shower.
- Yeah.
- So I take a normal hot shower.
- Yeah.
- For about three minutes.
- Yeah.
- Shampoo and everything and then I flip it down to go cold
for the last three minutes.
- Yeah.
- But I can't do my whole body, I hate cold.
Absolutely hate it.
- Well I feel better about that.
- So I just do the lower half of my body.
- So, you're recovering the muscles-
- From the legs.
- Waist down.
- Right.
- And I can handle that for some reason.
- So this is like-
- I do the front and the back.
- This is like that one guy who jumped in the water
and swam under the ice.
What's his name?
- Wim Hof.
- Wim Hof, yeah. Good job.
- And it works really well.
- Yeah. Well I've heard of like, you know,
a football player, Reggie White, he played for-
- Right.
- Professional football team, Packers.
- They take-
- Unlike the Vikings. Anyways, yeah,
he would jump in ice water after a game
or a practice or whatever.
- I see a lot of athletes do that.
- Yeah. Yeah. They've got issues also.
- The second thing I do, Brad-
- Yes.
- Is I use a massage gun.
- Yes.
- You want to demonstrate the one I use?
- Yeah, absolutely! We'll use this one.
It's called the EM19. It's a nice one.
- Now available at Walmart.
- Walmart! Wow! We got other ones too.
- In some Walmart stores.
- Yeah. Yep, it says Bob and Brad on there
because we do like it. We've used it.
We've given it the ultimate test,
but if you're going to use it;
if your hamstrings, like my hamstrings, need-
- Right.
- I'm going to go, I usually go in a seated position
like this and I'll work it back and forth.
- So yeah, I do it before I work out.
- You do?
- Right and then I do it at night before I go bed. Yes.
It's nice and relaxing. It allows me to sleep.
It's a good time just to do it.
- Can I, can I show them the other options?
- Sure.
- The tricks of the trade if you will.
- Sure.
- You can put something slippery on the floor.
If you happen to have a knee guard, you do that
and then we're going to floss-
- Oh sure.
- While you're applying the massage.
- [Bob] Yep.
- So this actually works more fibers of those muscles.
- [Bob] All creative.
- Yeah. I didn't create it. Who was it? That, Kelly-
- [Bob] Kelly Starr.
- Kelly Starr. Yeah. Now the other nice way;
this is the way I like to do it all
because I'm kind of lazy and
if I can do anything laying down, I'm going to do it.
Put your feet up on the countertop or on your furniture
and then this allows a muscle to completely relax
and then I can get really deep in there and-
- [Bob] Now this is a very strong gun.
- It is.
- [Bob] Powerful.
- I can hardly, I can't stall it!
And I'm strong like a bull!
- You can go to walmart.com and buy it
or you can also go to, we got 500 stores.
So look for the list in our website, bobandbrad.com.
- Maybe we can get a Bob and Brad store someday.
- [Bob] Yeah.
- And don't forget your calves, your quads.
- [Bob] Moo.
- Yep. Woo. Yep. There it is. I'm having fun, Bob.
You can carry on.
- [Bob] Let's leave.
The third thing, Brad, is sleep. This is probably
the most important thing your muscles have to recover.
- Right.
- And you gotta give them time to do so.
So I like to give the example of LeBron James.
- What does he do?
- He sleeps, he's a basketball player.
- Oh, basketball! Yeah. My daughter used to play it.
- Well, good for her. So he sleeps an average
of 12 hours a day.
- Yeah.
- Nine at night and a three hour nap. Can you imagine?
- Really?
- Yeah, on a game day.
- Oh, on a game day. Yeah, yeah.
- So that shows you-
- After the game, you mean?
- No, I think before the game.
- Before? Wow, to already get prepped!
Actually, That makes sense too.
- So-
- It is really, sleep is so critical.
- That's right.
- It's for health, for muscles-
- Don't fall asleep while you're watching us.
- No kidding. Maybe we could do that.
Watch Bob and Brad for a good sleep.
(fun, short tune)
