I recently discovered an active recovery program called “Recharge” by Joe DeFranco (creator of Westside for Skinny Bastards). Joe is known for training elite athletes out of his warehouse new Jersey gym and has built up quite a reputation by delivering solid results.
“Recharge” is a series of 6 different 10-15 minute routines (all on video), each of which mobilizes specific parts of the body. Each routine is 3 parts- foam roller or lacrosse ball work followed by a mobility stretch followed by a low resistance targeted “activation” movement. I’ve had lower back tightness on and off for about the past 4 years and after doing two of these routines, it completely disappeared. I’m going to continue to do these before I workout/ on off days; I’ll update you guys on its effectiveness.

Sweat that hangover out with some pickup jai alai with your bros, then grab that foam roller and get to work.
For more information on the benefits of foam rolling/ how to do it, see last Saturday’s ARWOD.

Last night, my friends and I were brainstorming which presidents names could be ‘Swole-ified’; here are the best ones:
If you can think of any better ones, post them to the comments. And remember, “Go have a fun time and do gone done good.”
Active Recovery
Active recovery days will pretty much always be the same: Yoga on Wednesdays, foam rolling on Saturdays. The cardio, as noted above, is optional and should be pretty easy. Yoga is the crucial element of today’s recovery.
To reiterate, yoga’s benefits include “faster recovery, greater flexibility, and increased strength.” This is pretty much the golden trifecta of what we try to achieve during an ARWOD.
