– These are the things you need to be doing to minimise recovery, to maximise recovery. If you do get injured ask yourself, do I communicate with my coach? Do I prioritise mechanics? Do I do a specific pre-exercise routine before every session? Do you use post-exercise nutrition within ten minutes of finishing your training? Do you complete specific movement therapy exercises to fix your faults? Do you complete exercises for recovery, fascia, foam rolling, trigger point ball work? Do you use deload days if you’re training with very high intensity and consistent volume? Sorry deload weeks. Do you use deload days, again if you have high intensity and high volume to bring it down in the middle of the week? If you get injured do you change your training around the injury or do you go all-in on a completely different movement pattern? Is your programming balanced on a micro-level and on a macro-level? Do you get enough sleep, ideally eight hours a night? And are you eating to reduce inflammation and promote recovery in your body? Go through this list. Pretty much everyone here, the one that would be missing most would be sleep. Time and time again I administer this to my athletes, which one are you struggling with? Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep. Identify what you need to work on and work on it.
