1. Understanding Recovery and Achieving Maximum Gains in Strength and Power

Most fitness programs usually take an all-or-nothing approach. When you train, you train hard. When you aren’t training, you do nothing.

The problem with this philosophy is it fails to facilitate one of the most important aspects of training…the repair of muscles and cells.

For example, if you're sore from a workout, you have two bad choices:

1) Go out and give yourself an equally brutal workout

or

2) Do nothing

What you need to do is train smarter by combining quality work with quality rest to get the results you want.

Getting results isn’t all about how you train in the gym. You get results from how you spend time away from training.

Factors include drinking enough water, eating the right foods, minimizing oxidative damage that's caused by exercise, performing active recovery techniques to help remove lactic acid from muscles, stretching, and self-massage techniques to improve muscle quality.

Workout recovery is an often misunderstood aspect of training.
