RECOVER - SLEEP RECOVERY
Sleep is the recovery tool most people skip because it does not feel like a tool. This page keeps it tied to training, fatigue, and readiness.

REST DAYS
->
Rest days are not empty days. They are where hard work gets room to land, soreness gets context, and the next useful session stays possible.
SORENESS
Soreness can be normal, useful, annoying, or a warning to slow down. It is information, not proof that a workout mattered.
DELOADS
A deload is a planned reduction in training stress. It is not laziness. It is a way to keep the work from outrunning recovery.
FOAM ROLLING & SOFT TISSUE
Foam rolling, massage tools, and soft-tissue work can help some people feel better. They are not magic, and they do not replace care when pain is real.
