[QUOTE="7thFloorRA, post: 513262, member: 3717"] For years players have gone in and gotten heat via a hot pack that has been soaking in very hot water. Those hot packs only cover one muscle for the most part. It warms up the area and increases blood flow. Teams with new facilities now actually have really large in ground hot tubs in the training room and instead of laying down on a table with a pack or packs on your body you can just jump in the tub. Usually you don't do this unless you are feeling a little tight or are having muscle spasms. These guys have all the time they want to spend at the facility so I'm sure some jump in the tub because it feels good to them to warm up their bodies. Guys that are just plain sore will go between a cold tub and hot tub to try and clear all the crap from their muscles. The theory is you are manipulating blood flow to the area and its almost like you are washing the muscle and clearing some of the toxins and biproducts that cause soreness. I think the hammy issues is not a lack of preparation or stretching though, I just can't see any way they would cut corners on that stuff. It probably is a much deeper issue that is triggering it. It could be nutritional. In the late mid to late 90's creatine was all the rage as a supplement for athletes and hammys were being blown left and right. When you screw with the water composition of the muscle you become more injury prone. I don't want to think any of the packers would take HGH but when you take that and incorrectly build the muscle you are very prone to soft tissue injury. It could be some plyo exercises they are doing. Some of the weight training may be favoring the quads and making them too dominant. It could be something totally different like the shoes they are wearing today and how those affect the running form and foot contact with the ground. These are all skilled position players and not the big men with the hammys. The skill guys wear weird shoes these days that look more like soccer shoes. Notice how many lis-franc foot injuries there have been in the nfl since these shoes showed up. No one had even heard of a lis-franc 2 years ago and now every team seems to have someone with one.
