Leg Day Recovery Strategies

Your Legs Are One Of The Biggest Muscle Groups In Your Body.

What most people forget is that when you train them, you also recruit major muscle groups from other parts of your body. (Hence the reason you feel like you got run over by a truck the next morning! 🚚😩)

 

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN INTENTIONAL RECOVERY STRATEGY TO MAXIMIZE GROWTH AND HASTEN RECOVERY.

 

HERE'S WHY:

After training, ALL of your muscles are undergoing the process of breakdown and repair.

 

Those muscles need blood flow to augment their recovery through this inflammatory process.  They need "helper cells" delivered TO THEM, and the byproducts of metabolism taken AWAY FROM THEM.

This is achieved by water and movement. (Obviously, your food nutrition is HUGE; & is considered a given).

Our  athletes have found great benefit from increasing the H2O intake (some even add an additional 1/2-1 gallon AFTER training); due time stretching and rolling out their quads, glutes and back; and gentle non-impact cardio (bike, elliptical, etc.).
