When considering all the ways that someone could maximize performance, one thing that is typically mentioned but maybe under-appreciated is recovery. That’s not to say that good behaviors around recovery do not exist, it’s that it seems to get an uneven amount of attention as compared to the actual training program.

There is a saying that goes like this, “There is no such thing as overtraining, only under-recovering.” Now, I am not sure I fully agree with that, because I feel that if I wanted to, I could put anybody in a training hole. However, recovery in itself is an artform.
