Recovery

How do I recover faster between workouts?

Sleep 7 to 9 hours, eat enough protein and calories, manage total training stress, and stay hydrated; there is no shortcut.

The quick answer

The biggest levers are sleep and food. Get 7 to 9 hours a night, eat 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg, and do not train in a huge calorie deficit. Manage total volume so you are not constantly beating up the same muscles, stay hydrated, and use easy walks to promote blood flow. Recovery gadgets and ice baths are minor next to sleeping and eating enough.

How to think about it

Sleep is the master lever

Most recovery and muscle repair happens during deep sleep. Consistently getting 7 to 9 hours does more for how fresh you feel than any supplement or recovery tool on the market.

Feed the repair

Hit 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg spread across the day and eat enough total calories. Training hard in a steep deficit slows repair, so if recovery is the goal, do not under eat.

Manage the training itself

You recover between sessions by not overloading beyond what you can handle. Spread volume across the week, take 1 to 2 rest days, and do light walks to boost blood flow to sore muscles.
