Galius Pro Post-competition oil

Galius Pro claim that the Post-competition Oil, when massaged into tired legs will aid recovery. My experience is that the massage will aid recovery, the oil doesn't seem to bring any noticeable benefits to the party, but it did smell nice and my legs felt soft the next day.

It's simple to apply, just shower and then massage the very thick oil into the clean skin. It's better if performed by someone else but we don't all have that luxury on a daily basis.

And this is where it gets messy, like BigRingRiding SHOUTY messy!

The effect is indescribable (but I will try). It's like sitting in a bucket of ice then having a group of White Walkers stab you in the legs with their frosty fingers. SO COLD. Unbearably so.

Oh gosh it's spreading up the legs. Everywhere. (And this is where the male and female experience may differ). Gentlemen, don't, and I cannot stress this enough, allow your oil covered hands to come into contact with you man-bits in ANY way. It feels like they've been sprayed with a fire-extinguisher. It probably wouldn't be much fun on female soft tissues either, on reflection.

The cold - did I mention it was VERY cold? - lasts for about 20 minutes. This could be how Galius Pro get the recovery part to work. I simply couldn't sit still while the cold was doing its thing, and to make matter worse, my legs were barely able to function with the cold; the legs felt as if I had lost them.

Never in my life, and I've had ice form inside a boot whilst climbing in the Andes, have I felt cold like that. Never.

Once the cold goes away, it's all calm again. Hard to detect any additional benefit the next day other than the massage itself.

Not one to try too often, but definitely one to 'recommend' a mate tries!

Verdict

Hard to recommend from a performance point of view but maybe worth trying just for the experience
