Recovery is where growth happens… here’s how we prioritise it☝️

We can’t always sleep 8hrs a night, eat a perfect diet, manage our stress, or never do too much.

But these are the areas where we should focus our attention when trying to maximise recovery.

For most people there’s a lot of low hanging fruit we can change — and usually it’s relatively straightforward and free to do.

I get the appeal of the Instagram-worthy recovery methods, but sometimes we focus on the 1% before we’ve nailed the 99% that will actually make a meaningful difference.

Nail these five and I promise your growth and energy will follow.

Save this for whenever your recovery needs a reset — and tell me, which of these five do you neglect the most?

The thing separating you from where you want to be is time and work.

Your capabilities are so much greater than you give them credit for.

You’re not made to be tired, in pain, or weak. Your current habits have just put you there.

Drop the excuses. Realise what you need to do, and get to work.

Don’t waste your potential.

Here’s my upper body session (day 1) that I’m currently running.

Swipe for each exercise.

Last slide has the full workout.

Save this post and give it a go if you want to pack on size and strength 🫡

A1 - Weighted Chin Up

Get all the way down - no half reps. Add weight to make it harder but don’t let yourself slack on movement quality.

B1 - Incline Bench Press

My favourite chest exercise. Control the bar down to your upper chest and a big drive up. Think about bending the bar to avoid getting into too much internal rotation at the shoulders.

C1 - Cable Lateral Raise

Using a V-grip here as it reduces the strain on the wrist and is much more stable / comfier. Keep the elbow locked out and limit any momentum.

C2 - Upper Back Biased Incline Row

The focus here is the deep stretch at the bottom, and the squeeze at the top. Elbows slight flared and think about bring the dumbbells to the chest to bias the upper back muscles.

D1 - Ring Dips

Working on the chest, shoulders and triceps in an unstable position. Whilst not maximising hyper trophy, building dynamic strength always keeps my shoulder healthy and contributes to stability on the bar / DB’s.

You still get a nasty stretch on the chest 😝

D2 - Rear Delt Ring Flys

The eccentric (lowering) portion of this is really hard. Keeping your arms as straight as possible - a little bit of bend is normal. Try and control the lowering as much as possible - something I realised I could do better here.

E1 - No idea on the name but Rapunzel Pushdowns I think?🤣

Forgetting the name these are incredible. The stability and position isolates the tricep incredibly well and lets you push hard. 10/10.

E2 - Incline Curls

The strictest form of curls. Elbow stays behind you, no swinging, no cheating. Keeps you honest.

FULL SESSION WITH REPS & SETS

A1 - Weighted Chin Up 3 x 6-10
B1 - Incline Bench Press 3 x 6-10
C1 - Cable Lateral Raise 3 x 10-15
C2 - Upper Back Biased Incline Row 3 x 8-12
D1 - Ring Dip 2 x 10-15
D2 - Rear Delt Ring Fly 2 x 10-15
E1 - Tricep Ext (Rapunzel) 3 x 10-15
E2 - Incline Curls 3 x 10-15

Save this for your next upper body day to build some serious strength and size 🫡

Your story. Your journey. Your progress.

Comparison only takes away from the focus on yourself and your path to where you want to go.

Just two more reps 😂
