How Do You Prep Recovery-Wise Before Intense Training Phases?
Quick question for folks who’ve been in the game a while — how do you approach recovery before ramping up training intensity? I’ve got a tough few months ahead (hybrid strength/endurance program) and I already know my joints and sleep are going to take a hit.
Last time I overdid it, I ended up taking 3 weeks off because of inflammation flare-ups and low energy. Someone mentioned GH might help cushion the load a bit — not for growth per se, but for connective tissue support and faster recovery. Anyone actually try this approach before a heavy phase?
