I get deep tisue massages about twice a month. They are amazing, but they hurt. I think it would help in the recovery of the muscle.
You say you lift 5 times a day...Is that a week ?

Yeah, they're good for you. You're lucky. My ex-girlfriend gave the WORST massages...not that she liked to give them in the first place.

What's your gf's number?

Read this article. It talks about Swedish massage, but the same principle applies.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
