I keep cardio post-workout or on rest days. Never before lifting strength stays better that way.

Deep tissue massage every 2–3 weeks is my sweet spot. Fixes all the little imbalances before they turn into real problems. If you find a legit therapist, it’s worth every penny.

I’ll add collagen. I know it’s not a “muscle builder,” but it’s helped me with joint pain and skin. Small difference, but noticeable.

Exactly. Remember, muscles don’t grow while you train, they grow while you recover. Think long game, not just short-term pump.
