Recovery 101
1. Nutrition. I prioritize whole, quality foods with as little ingredients as possible. My meals mostly include meat, eggs, fruits, avocados, and some potatoes or white rice around my training sessions. I eliminated all seed and vegetable oils, processed foods, and added sugars from my diet and I feel 10x better. Protein is always first, with carbohydrates and quality fats second.
2. Sleep. My goal is to get 8-9 hours every single night. I get in bed at 9pm almost every night and wake up usually at 6 or 615 am. Right before bed, I take 400mg of magnesium glycinate and 1000mg of magnesium L Threonate. This has helped me relax and I find myself more tired once I get into bed.
3. Modalities such as infared saunas, cold plunges, red light beds, and oxygen chambers have elevated my recovery to new levels. I use these 4-5x a week. The more consistent you are the better.
