Why Athletes Are Using CBD Topicals Before a Race or Training: The Key to Pliable, Efficient Muscles and injury prevention

When you think of CBD topicals, you probably think about post-race recovery: soothing sore muscles, calming inflammation, and helping your body bounce back faster. But what if we told you that one of the most overlooked benefits of CBD is how it can prepare your muscles before you even start moving?

Whether you’re gearing up for a marathon, game day or a hard training session, applying Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On before your warm-up can give your body the edge it needs to move efficiently, prevent injury, and perform at its peak.

The Science of Pliability: Why It Matters for Athletes

Muscle pliability is the ability of your muscles to stay supple, flexible, and responsive. Think of it as keeping your muscles in a state where they can absorb force, adapt to movement, and recover quickly. Pliable muscles aren’t just more comfortable — they’re more efficient, meaning they can perform the same amount of work with less strain.

When muscles are tight or inflamed, they’re more prone to small tears, stiffness, and imbalances that can lead to injuries like IT band syndrome, shin splints, or knee pain. Keeping muscles pliable helps prevent those common pitfalls — and  Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On is designed to do exactly that.

How CBD Topicals Support Muscle Pliability

Here’s why applying Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On before a race or workout is a game-changer:

  • Increases Blood Flow: Our formula combines 1,800 mg of high-quality CBD with 24 essential oils that stimulate circulation, warming up the muscles and preparing them for movement.
  • Eases Stiffness: Menthol, camphor, and ginger root oil work synergistically to relieve tension and promote suppleness.
  • Reduces Micro-Inflammation: CBD helps calm inflammatory processes in the tissues, keeping muscles looser and more efficient from the very start.
  • Primes Recovery: Starting your workout with pliable muscles means you’re less likely to create excess damage, which makes post-workout recovery smoother.

Pre-Training or Race-Day Protocol

To maximize the benefits, athletes can incorporate Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On directly into their warm-up routine:

  1. Apply Before Movement: Roll on the topical to key muscle groups you’ll be using (quads, hamstrings, calves, IT band, glutes).
  2. Massage It In: Take 2–3 minutes to lightly massage the product into the muscles. This not only improves absorption but also activates circulation.
  3. Dynamic Warm-Up: Pair application with mobility drills, stretches, or light jogging to further promote blood flow and pliability.
  4. Repeat as Needed: Because Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On is safe and non-toxic, athletes can reapply before multiple sessions in a day or prior to each race event.

Why Athletes Swear By It

Athletes who integrate Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On into their pre-game and pre-training rituals often report:

  • A smoother warm-up process
  • Less stiffness at the start of activity
  • Improved efficiency and fluidity of movement
  • Fewer flare-ups of common injuries like shin splints or knee pain

The key is consistency. Using the topical daily — not just when something hurts — builds a foundation of pliability that keeps your body resilient and ready.

The Takeaway

CBD topicals aren’t just for recovery. For athletes, they’re a preparation tool that primes your muscles for better performance. By keeping your muscles pliable, efficient, and injury-resistant, you can line up on race day confident that your body is ready to perform at its peak.

Train hard, race smart, recover faster — and start by priming your muscles with Asé’s Topical Muscle Gel Roll-On.
