TIPS FOR BETTER MUSCLE RECOVERY

by Michael Schrader BSES, MHA, NASM CPT & CSNC

When it comes to working out, there is a lot of talk about pushing your body to
its limits. Something that doesn’t get talked about as much is muscle recovery. 

Assuming you train hard already, I would argue that recovery is even more
important. If you don't allow your muscles to recover, they can be in a constant
state of breakdown. 

You see, when you resistance train, you're actually doing two things to your
body: 

1. You are depleting your muscle glycogen stores. This means you're burning off
the energy stored in your muscles. For the most part, this can be the main
reason why you get tired. This also plays a role in why you get sore.

2. You are creating micro-tears in your muscle fibers. This means you are
breaking down your muscle tissue. While this sounds bad, it's actually what
gives them the chance to build back bigger and stronger.

Because of these two things, it's important to make sure you recover properly.

There are many things that you can do to promote a good recovery routine. This
can be everything from the foods you eat to the supplements you take and your
lifestyle habits.

The better you can cater to these factors for recovery, the better results you
can earn in the long term. So, let's take a deeper look at why muscle recovery
is important and how you can improve it!


WHY IS MUSCLE RECOVERY IMPORTANT? 

Muscle recovery should be one of the cornerstones of your training program.
People who look and feel the best use it to their advantage. I definitely make
sure to set structured time in my plan to promote muscle recovery.

Again, what you are doing in the gym is actually depleting energy and breaking
down muscle. What you're doing outside of the gym is your window for recovery.
If you approach muscle recovery correctly, it can help you repair this muscle
damage and replenish your energy stores. This is essential for reaching your
fitness goals!

However, that's not the only reason why muscle recovery is important. It can
also help improve exercise performance, reduce your chance of injury, and help
your body feel better overall.

In fact, if you don't get adequate muscle recovery, and work hard in your
workouts ... It could actually do you more harm than good.


WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT PROPER MUSCLE RECOVERY? 

As I said, not taking the time to recover can have negative consequences. While
it is good to work out and work out often, there is a balance!

Again, training hard is a good thing! But, if you train hard, train a lot, and
don't get the recovery your body needs ... That's when problems can come up.

Here are some of the issues you could run into by neglecting muscle recovery:


DEHYDRATION

Making sure that you get adequate water and electrolytes can be crucial for
recovery. It's important for performance, energy, and the way you feel. By not
hydrating properly as part of your recovery, the opposite can be true. You could
experience lower performance, fatigue, and just not feel as good overall.


FATIGUE

If you don't recover properly, fatigue can set in. Over time, this could lead to
chronic fatigue and decrease your workout performance and motivation. That's
just another reason why getting adequate recovery can be important!


EXCESSIVE SORENESS

Intense workouts can lead to soreness, which is normal. However, without proper
recovery, that can limit your progress. If you're always sore, it can be very
difficult to push yourself. Plus, when you constantly break down the muscle and
don't give it time to repair, you can't build more muscle.


INCREASED RISK OF INJURY

Excessive training without proper recovery can increase risk of injury. It's
important to give your body the best chance to stay healthy throughout this
process.


MUSCLE RECOVERY DO-NOTS

Before we dive into tips to improve muscle recovery, let's talk about some
things you should avoid. For the best recovery possible, these factors certainly
won't help!


DRINKING ALCOHOL

Alcohol can limit your body’s ability to build and repair muscle tissue. In
addition to this, alcohol can lead to dehydration, which can also impact
recovery. For this reason, it's important to limit your alcohol consumption.


USING TOBACCO/NICOTINE

These substances can prevent your body from recovering properly. That's because
they can decrease your body’s ability to deliver nutrients effectively. This
comes from the fact that they can restrict your blood vessels.


TRAINING TOO HARD/TOO MUCH

Working out too much and training too hard can inhibit muscle recovery. It can
also negatively impact your immune system and hormone health. At the end of the
day though, if you keep breaking down muscle, it won't have time to repair!


THE BENEFITS WITH PROPER MUSCLE RECOVERY

So, on the flip side, what are the benefits of getting adequate muscle recovery?


MUSCLE REPAIR

Proper recovery comes with better muscle repair. The same can be said about
muscle growth too, but that would also require you to eat and train in a
specific way.

But yes, you can more effectively repair muscle tissue with the right approach
to recovery. This can make sure you're ready to crush your next workout when it
comes around.


REFUELING AND REPLENISHMENT

It's important for your body to replenish electrolytes, energy stores, and even
water. All of these things will play a big role in helping to optimize your
training and results. 

If you're constantly training, you can also constantly be depleting your body.
That's why making it a point to recover is important.


STRESS REDUCTION

Proper muscle recovery can help decrease the stress on your body. This could
help you perform better and feel better as a whole. Exercise can put your body
under quite a bit of stress. Make sure you recover!


TIPS FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

Now that we've talked about its importance, what exactly does muscle recovery
look like? While a lot of people think of recovery as sitting on the couch and
taking it easy, that isn't necessarily true.

Yes, recovery does mean taking a break from intense exercise. That doesn't have
to be sitting around without moving a muscle though!

On top of that, several different factors play into your overall recovery. Here
are some tips that can help you maximize your recovery and earn great results.


1. NUTRITION 

Many things can play a role here, but it can be very simple. 

When I say nutrition, I’m specifically talking about calories, protein, and
carbs. So why are each of these so important? 

CALORIES FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

These are a unit of measurement of energy. These are the fuel for our bodies. If
you aren’t consuming enough, then your body won’t have the energy that it needs
to recover.

We need to make sure that our body has enough total calories to recover, yes.
But, even before that, we need to make sure we have enough energy to live.

PROTEIN FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

Proteins are complex molecules that give our body a lot of its structure and
functioning. When it comes to muscle recovery, protein is especially important.
After all, muscle tissue is made from these proteins.

Once our muscles are broken down from training, they need protein to rebuild and
repair. Getting enough protein in your diet can ensure that you can rebuild your
muscle tissue. Especially after exercise, protein intake can help support
recovery, and even performance in your next workout (1).

Protein sources are made up of different amino acids. 9 of these amino acids are
considered essential, and what your muscles need to rebuild. The sources of
protein that contain these 9 amino acids in abundance are typically
animal-based. These are sources like poultry, beef, fish, dairy, and more.

CARBS FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

Carbohydrates are your body's preferred source of fuel and energy. This is
especially true during resistance training.

You see, all carbs we consume are broken down into glucose. This glucose is then
stored in your muscles in the form of glycogen. When we work out, we deplete our
glycogen stores.

By replenishing glycogen levels after training through carbohydrates, you can
help maximize your recovery (2). So, don't forget this crucial aspect of
recovery as well!


2. SLEEP 

Quality sleep is beneficial for a lot of reasons, especially when it comes to
fitness. When you sleep, your body secretes hormones essential for muscle
recovery. It can even help control inflammation and support muscle recovery from
injuries (3).

Most importantly, sleep deprivation has been shown to have a negative impact on
cortisol levels. Chronic stress could contribute to longer recovery times and
make you more susceptible to injury and illness (4, 5). This is why it can be
critical to make sure you're getting adequate sleep for muscle recovery.


3. POST-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS 

Post-workout is the only time that I recommend supplements over whole foods. I
say this for a few reasons.

During intense exercise, your body sends blood from your GI tract to active
muscle tissue and your lungs. This can put your body in a weakened digestive
state during, and immediately after exercise (6).

During intense exercise, our body also breaks down muscle and uses glycogen for
fuel.

Now, I believe the more quickly we can restore our body's energy and give our
muscles protein to repair, the better. This could help prolong the time we have
to recover and prevent the body from breaking down more muscle.

Given the fact that we're also in a weakened state of digestion, it can take
whole foods longer to accomplish these tasks. That's where a rapid digesting
form of carbohydrates and protein could be beneficial.

The first thing I recommend is a high-glycemic carbohydrate like a glucose
powder. That way, your body doesn't have to work hard to break it down to
replenish energy.

The second thing I recommend is a rapid digesting form of protein like whey
protein isolate. Whey protein can help spike amino acid concentrations in the
blood quickly (9). For this reason, it can be a great tool to use after exercise
to support recovery.

The combination of these supplements is something I personally use. In fact, it
has made a big difference in my overall recovery, soreness, and results.

The two supplements I take for this are Ignition and Phormula-1.

Ignition is a pure glucose powder that also has a lot of the vitamins, minerals
and electrolytes we lose through our sweat during training.

Phormula-1, on the other hand, is a whey protein isolate. This is a form of whey
protein with most of the fat and lactose removed to encourage rapid digestion.

If you'd like to give Phormula-1 and Ignition a try, you can get them together
in the Post Workout Stack. Personally, I love the Root Beer Float flavor because
it tastes just like vanilla ice cream and root beer mixed together!

If you’re somebody who prefers naturally sweetened or plant-based options, we
got you covered there too.

For a naturally sweetened option, we also offer the Natural Post Workout Stack.
Or, if you follow a plant-based diet or lifestyle, we have the Vegan Post
Workout Stack too.

When it comes to recovery, it all starts with what you do immediately after you
finish training. I’ve been using the Post Workout Stack for well over 3 years,
and I can honestly say it makes a massive difference. I’m less sore, I have more
energy, and my recovery feels 10x better than it was before.

But if you ever find it challenging to get the best recovery, to feel your best,
and to earn the results you're after ... We're here to help!
