Any benefits gains wise?
The base gym has a great sauna and I sit in it for 15-20 minutes each day after my workout. I bring in my bottle of cold water to sip.... I add some aroma therapy oil to the stones. My ear buds with some nice relaxing music...
I am relaxed, and able to clear my mind before heading to the office, to begin the crazy day. I have read some of the articles/studies about life extension/longevity and sweating toxins, etc. Even if those are not true/accurate, and you get nice and relaxed as long as you don't over do it.. why not? Our lives are already stressful enough, this is just one of those "moments" we can take for ourselves.

it does not have a direct effect on gains but definitely indirect... what it does is get rid of excess water but also helps to get toxins out of your system which clearly has an effect on the type of progress and gains you make... i always recommend 4-5 days a week with 20 minute sessions... it has a STRONG effect on improving your sleep as well, which is key to growth, so technically, it does have an effect on gains, just not quite direct but definitely add it to your routine
I used my gyms sauna for the first time today. Felt great after and looked damn vascular.

I love the sauna. I feel so relaxed after. The toxins are sweated out and like Dylan says, my sleep is amazing.

This is exactly what i was going to say. Sauna is awesome
yes, the sauna is fucking awesome... i often used to pray in there or read etc... time flies in there if you are occupied, trust me and you feel great when you get out...
Dylan... Funny you mentioned that you often pray in the sauna. I have been using the time to create new devotionals based on scriptures. I have a business idea based on my Christian faith, and have found the solitude, combined with the heat and sweating often frees me to think clearer, I find I can remember scripture references and their applications while sitting quiet.
