Underestimating Recovery: It’s Part of the Plan

Training hard is great but if you’re not recovering properly, you’re leaving results on the table.

Recovery doesn’t just mean rest days. It’s how you fuel, sleep, and manage stress between sessions.

Here’s how to do it right:

Protein after training as it helps muscles repair and grow.

7–9 hours of quality sleep. This means no phones in bed, no late night doom scrolling.

Active recovery like walks, mobility work, or light cardio to keep you moving.

Remember, training breaks you down, recovery builds you up. Nail both, and progress takes off.
