Overworked, overused and your key to recovery.

[RodgerThat]

I live an incredibly active lifestyle and I hate slowing down due to recovery factors. Now in absence of all PEDs what do you guys do to help recover? Any and all opinions, equitment and suggestions are welcomed.

Ex. I stretch 30 mins every day
Hot tub and suana once a week
8+hours of sleep throughout the night and usually a 30-90min nap in the day
Foam roller and pulse massager
Compression clothing during sleep

What else you fellas got? I want to be able to be active 7 days a week, not neccasarily lift in the gym but other high intensity activities

Good topic,

Glutamine definitely helps.

Blood filling into the muscle aids repair. (Recovery workout)

Glutamine supplementation doesn't help.

1) coffee and lots of it
2) an insatiable desire to achieve no matter what the obstacles

They actually had to create laws to govern ppl in my line of work to PREVENT us from working so much. I know a thing or two about overworked & overused

Dont let it stop you. Achieve!

Sleep is key.

I didn't ask, I told, but on that note:

Don't ask google, ask The Journal of the International Society for Sports Nutrition, The American Journal for Clinical Nutrition, NCBI, Medscape, Pubmed, etc. Your wallet will thank me

the answer is simple but nobody wants to recognize it; BACK OFF WEIGHT TRAINING!! Back off the frequency, the number of work sets, and how long you're in the gym!! Your sleep will automatically get better, you'll feel more rested and sharp thinking, and you'll actually recover and feel good outside of the gym as well.

I understand this is difficult to do, but for myself if I slash the sets in half and cut the weight days down to 3-4 days a week rather than 6 I'll begin feeling much better and sleep returns to a healthy 8 hrs a night.

Ya I only workout 4 days a week and it's a proven program for powerlifting so it's not the weights that's my issue, I'm trying to recover from my everyday life. Two physical jobs and 4 physical hobbies plus the gym catches up quick

Look at your avi, you know what you are deep down inside. A deadlifting bear, hibernate and then eat everything that stands in your way.

I feel you. I'm up at 4 am, just to get to the job by 6. Its a 10 min drive. When I was younger, I could get there if I woke up a quarter to six. Coffee and Meso, ibuprophen, and thc stimulates my egress from home now.
Sleep, eat, work hard, love, repeat.

You'll acclimate man. Lube will help if anything. Lol, sleep and food is about the only thing that helps me in those situations.
