Just to be clear, the times i list on my workouts do not include daily maintenance - prep drills, corrective drills and soft tissue work. This is super important in recovery, which is just as important as the work! Other recovery aids are more sleep, better food, and more water!
By soft tissue i am referring to use of the stick and roller, along with self massage. As i up the demand on my body the more likely it is that problems will show up, and one of the best way to keep on top of it is keeping trigger points and residual tension out of the muscles (which keeps my movement patterns clean and my movement screen score acceptable, no 1's and no asymmetries).
So, outside of the program workouts, i am doing 10-30 minutes a day with the stick and roller to keep the muscles spasm and tension free.
