Recovery for fatigued muscles?

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

 

I have my first forms competition coming up pretty soon, and I'm almost

completely prepared. Just a few fine-tweaks to the forms and they will be

quite nice. Mentally I am sharp and focused, and any pre-comp jitters are

easily dissolved via EFT and EmoTrance. Gotta love the energy methods.

 

But my question revolves around fast muscle recovery. Last night I trained

rather hard, and because of the very low stances the forms require, my legs

feel quite stiff and leaden right now. Normally I train in a soft, relaxed

manner and stand higher, but the competition requires more 'oomph', which

has taken a bit out of me and my legs in particular.

 

I'd be very grateful for some recommendations for helping my legs feel

'fresh' again. When I feel fresh I can do almost anything, but towards the

end of my last training session I was stumbling a bit and couldn't go as

low as I'd have to. I'm gently stretching and squatting lightly, taking a

lot of Vitamin C and deep-massaging my legs, and I'm wondering what else I

might be able to do. Rebounder? Neurolymphatic drainage points?

 

Thank you very much for any advice and instructions you can offer!
