When training for strength (absolute strength) is a huge priority in my life, the following recovery protocols are used: Sleep – 8-10 hours/day. Naps/relaxation – 30-60 minutes/day of quiet. Food – 4-5 meals/day Epsom salt baths – 1/day Mobility work – 3 times/day Massage – 1 time/week Conditioning – 30 minutes, 3 days/week of AirDyne. Never discount the importance of an aerobic base. This will help lower your resting heart rate, improve blood flow and reduce overall soreness.
