Recovery Tools Reviews
Looking for the best Recovery Tools for your gym? Here you will get an inside look into how I use (or don’t) some of the most common recovery tools on the market. In my opinion, the vast majority of the recovery tools available are not worth the price. They are hard to implement regularly, have little to no positive effect, and some even hinder recovery and progress.
I’ve handled a number of massage guns, EMS units, compression gear, and more. When you squat, deadlift, and bench heavy weights, sometimes you need a little help to stay in one piece.
