That's not going to be our first, second, or third line of defense at all.

How are you defining recovery?

How are you labeling?

Okay.

The reason I ask that is because we answer this differently depending on how people are thinking of recovery.

We think about this in terms of like a muscle soreness.

Are we thinking about this in terms of a, my energy's low the next day?

Are we thinking about this in terms of, I felt fine, but my actual performance was just a little bit lower.

Those are three different types of recovery.

Are we thinking about this more chronically?

man, I've just been going down for several weeks and several months.

Like depending on how we frame this, my answer would completely different.

So is there one or more of those that you would want to focus on?

Yeah.

Okay.

So in that particular case, you've laid out the basic framework for us a second ago, right?

In terms of the three big processes that happen there, it is not the case typically where you're actually tearing tissue down.

In the case of strength training and muscle, we hear that all the time.

Like you break the muscle down, you have these micro tears that would then have those cascades you're mentioning that actually doesn't happen as much as people think.

Um,
