Cristiano Ronaldo shows off his muscles ahead of Bilbao La Liga clash
The Portugal international spends time working out after every game by his bulging quadriceps but muscle retention is something the 33-year-old has worked hard to build-up and sustain throughout his career.
He swims at home after games, alone or with his son Cristiano Jnr, and after that comes another water treatment with hot and cold baths to stimulate muscle regeneration, a high-pressured water jet to massage muscles, and a walk-in cryotherapy chamber.
He had a chamber installed in 2013 after hearing it had worked well for Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery.
The liquid nitrogen treatment reaches temperatures between -160°C and -200°C — bearable for about three minutes but with huge regenerative dividends.
