   Hi all

   Just finished my last treatment at HIS and I'm very happy with my result

   I'm starting this thread just to get a general consensus answer on something.

   We all know that the general rule of thumb on returning to working out is 3-7 days after treatment.

   However, does this rule of thumb extend to those of use how compete at a high level of athletics

   I'm a competive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu player who is looking to go back to doing tournements. 

   The Type of Training to prepare for a tournament isn't just a basic one hour of lifting weights.  It's 5 mile runs, followed by jumping rope for several rounds, then lifting weights and followed by 2 hours of heavy contact sparring

   So, when can a person in my situation return to THAT TYPE of training?

   Does the same 3-7 day rule of thumb apply?

   Mind you, I didn't want to start a uneccessary thread but I couldn't find any info so I'm reaching out for any help I can get.  thanks

   Hello Alfan, this is a great question and as far as I was told, it is usually 5 days after the last treatment. I hope this helps

   Alfan,

   I really want to know the answer for this exact question as well.

   What exactly would happen with extensive rolling sessions, whereby you have to roll on the mats and sparring aggressively with someone and could essentially have your head rubbing hard against the mats?

   I'm glad that you all understand the difference between regular working out and training hard

   
   

   Because this thread is about returning to a very hardcore type training/lifestyle

   Alfan.

   Im sure I could have had my head rolled on matts  etc 4 or 5 days after my last session yet if you're still concerned...Call up the clinic and ask them over there ..

   Hope your happy with the results and best of luck..

   Sounds like a cool sport!

   Ask your practitioner. And ask youself if potentially ruining this treatment is worth the extra five to seven days of hard workout you'll get. My guess is that it's not worth it.

   If you're worried about "gaining weight", just watch your calories. Eat at maintenance everyday. :)

   Having had the treatment ..I'd be hard pressed to believe it would cause an issue but as HiTop suggests ..call the clinic specialist and find out.

   Better safe than sorry I would imagine.

   Unfortunately none of us are (or most of us?) not technicians who work for HIS and they rarely come on the forum. Maybe Damien is as well as a moderator on this forum so maybe he would know what direction t send you.

   honestly, I do not mind waiting the extra days at all.

   I just want to know now how many more extra days off I should take off before I start training hard

    While I'm not a athlete, I've actually been kinda worried about the 12-15 days I won't be able to exercise when I get my treatment.

    But it's worth it for me... and if I do get gain weight, I'll just have to train harder after my treatment has settled! :D

    I'm not a professional athlete either but I really don't see the need to wait more than 3 to 5 days...

    If I were you and you did not mention it to the tech during the procedure..then just phone them and they will give you a more definitive answer.

    Anybody wonder if you have to wait the 2 or 3 days for heavy wild sex with their partner and did one of them actually concern themselves what that hot sex would do to the ink on your head..??

    I would bet none of the guys who had this done ...turned down their spouse or girlfriend for some hot and heavy sex the same day the treatment was done..

    And if they didn't break a hell of a long sweat that night...well..they should be ashamed of themselves.. LOL

    Just a little humor...

    give the clinic a call..and definitely a cool sport..(both of them!!!)

    Knock em dead! There is a 12 month guarantee on the work...so they told you 3 to 5 days no heavy workout...and they knew what you did professionally I ' m sure...

    Go kick the crap out of your scheduled matches and your training buddies!

    I asked the tech and he said that I should be good to go on Tuesday or wednesday (which would be 7 days after the procedure)

    I'm just on here asking for other opinions because, and i'm not trying to brag but, when I train I train very intensly and very hard

    So, it's not like a brisk walk and some light weights.....Again- not bragging.  Just giving the facts so I can get a accurate answer

    Alfan,

    Not only is it cool to hear competitive athletes such as yourself getting HIS and even cooler still that your posting up on this forum...none of us think your bragging ..

    Its a legimate concern yet as you already asked the tech specialist doing the work and his response was 7 days...thats what I'd go with.

    Most of us here are just varied individuals across the globe..

    All of us are equal under the eyes of god...(and I'm not religious but it makes the point) We've all got our own specialities (mine being the gift of gab LOL)

    Beleive me I know your plight...I've spent the first week of HIS not working out...then two weeks not working out as I'm getting over probably the worst flu in years..

    Supposedly tommorow I hit the gym with a trainer again if I'm up to it and I can tell you as a guy who works out 5 times a week and who is the father of a handicapped kid that can drive anyone nuts....when I work out...I  hit the weights hard...

    I'm sure I don't train anywhere near as hard as a professional such as yourself though...

    Like I mentioned...HIS gives a 12 month period for any fading or anything else like that I believe so wait the 7 days after the last HIS session and kick some @ss.

    If you don't mind...would you in fact be able to post up a future match that might be on you tube...so we here as members of HIS cheer you on as one of us...as you take that match..

    I for one would be very interested in seeing your fight!

    I enjoyed hearing as well that professional athletes and even maybe a few movie stars have taken the same service we have..

    Just another great reason to be proud of doing the HIS service.

    Win Big!

    So I just had my second treatment yesterday and I haven't even walked past a gym since last Wednesday and I wouldn't risk this art work for anything but Alfan, I can completely understand your concerns. I have personally just been eating a lot less and watching my intake of calories. I am not by any stretch of the imagination a gym rat or a big buff guy... If anything I am the complete opposite... I am a computer nerd and proud of it :) but I will say this, once my last treatment is complete next week and I have waited the necessary 5-7 days, I am going to the gym, not to workout heavy but to hang out at the cardio machines and pick up woman, lol... Good luck

    Nvr2L8...

    With you heading to the gym on the hunt....(forgetting even about the HIS Service) those beautiful late 20's girls on the treadmills and elipicals are in big trouble! The power of having a positive perspective makes a lot of good things happen. Have fun you lucky SOB!!

    Have fun but really the tech told me...and the other guys the day I was there...3 to 4 days is fine.

    Obviously a professonal athelete might have been suggested seven days for the KILLER workouts!!!

    Alfan, it depends a lot on your tendancy to sweat. It is sweat that can disrupt the pigments in the first few days following treatment. Generally speaking, 5-7 days is about right, but I would follow whatever advice your local clinic gave you, as they know more about your specific case than I do.

    I am based in the UK and spend a lot of time at the Harborne clinic in Birmingham, managing the website and forum. Want to contact me? Send me a PM or email me - damien@hishairclinic.com

    honestly, I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks before I start sparring

    HOWEVER- I will go back to regular high intensity drills (long distance running, rope work, weights, other cardio) after the 7 days
