Finally, we get to wrap up the Basics and Principles Series (or do we?!).
In this episode, TJ and Big Nick run through the basics of recovery, this does not mean just foam rollers, vibrating foam rollers, lacrosse balls, buffers, myofascial release, ice baths, cold showers and recovery pants.

This is talking about the recovery needs and purposes in-season and out of season, why you might NOT want to fully recover, when to use recovery sessions and how you might do this all.
The principles:
1. Training Volume
2. Peaking / Performance Requirements
3. Stimulus, Recovery, Adaptation
4. Injury Rehab / Prevention
