The life of a fighter isn’t easy: it’s training after training and then taking a beating in the ring. Add to that the constant stress of pre-weigh-in dieting as well as the physical exertion required on a daily basis, and you’re looking at a lot of things for the body to contend with. The sheer muscle strain, as well as consistent demands of the job, leave barely any time for muscle recovery. So how should a boxer help their muscles recover as fast as possible? The most crucial action you can take to enhance your muscle recovery is to lead an overall healthy lifestyle. Poor diet and insufficient sleep cannot be made up for by any other recuperation technique or over-the-counter supplementation.
