Lifting Weights before a Tournament?

The tightness and stiffness in muscles is due to lactic acid build up. To eliminate this, when you finished your routines, take a brisk walk for 20 minutes. Problem solved plus it is great for your entire body.
14 years ago you said 15 minutes. Any reason for the additional 5 minutes? Not ridicule, just wondering.

Is this for the legs only or does it release lactic acid in the whole body?

Lifting Weights before a Tournament?

I'll say shoulder or neck are most likely to affect my play. Possibly biceps too. Soreness in other muscle groups has never been noticeable while playing, but I only play for a few hours at a time. All day tourney warriors might be affected more.

For random other stuff, I'd advise against doing heavy upright rows. I nearly tore my shoulders up doing those as a young-un. That exercise is on the no-no list by some weights experts anyway.
