On the door: “Do not disturb. GainZ in progress Bro.” I asked why he needed the reptile lamp. “Dr Mike, I have a hypothesis. Where’s the heavy stuff?” His hypothesis? If a little red light helps recovery, three hours inside his homemade raccoon toaster should...
Go on to the internet and every GooRoo treats recovery like a cleanup crew: more sleep, more protein, a deload, maybe a walk and a massage gun that sounds like a small construction project.
