You might think recovery is about lying on the couch with a protein shake. That’s part of it, but there’s a better way to bounce back stronger from intense training.

Brief, hard workouts create the stimulus your body needs to adapt and grow stronger. But without proper recovery, those adaptations never happen. You get stuck, or worse, you regress.

The key is understanding that recovery isn’t passive. Your body needs specific inputs at specific times to repair tissue, clear metabolic waste, and upgrade its systems. Skip these inputs and you’re wasting your training time.
