Anyone else wakes up with stiffness the next day after padel

No middle age guys have stiffness after sports activity. It’s really weird you are the only one.

Ummmm…isn’t that all of us? For those that don’t, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!

it happens to me. Specially around the neck and shoulders areas. I do try to stretch as much as possible, but sometimes I guess it’s not enough.

I used to have a very stiff lower back the next day after padel. After some research, I now focus on strengthening my glutes and hip flexors in the gym. Hip thrusts ftw! It has really helped me, I can now easily play on consecutive days without being stiff the next day. (Keep in mind: Lower back pain has multiple potential causes. What worked for me does not necessarily help you)

stretching is your friend

You should do one day padel match and padel fitness the next day to feel stiff every day, you wont feel the diference anymore.

yeah, but also the same day.. especially in my hand.

Wait, there are people that don’t wake up with stiffness the next day after padel???

Mostly in the underpants area but also on days not after padel.

Yeah, but i’ve always had that. Makes it incredibly hard to take a piss.

I’m 38. I always wake up with stiffness.

Of course. It happened more when my technique and posture was really bad. Hydrate, take magnesium, foam roll your muscle groups.

Massage gun is real helpful for this geezer.

Never tried waking up without it after playing.

Stretch, massage, magnesium.

yea i feel like a grandpa getting out of the bed this morning

Yes. It’s a sport, not a game. Train your body accordingly.
