Reply To: Hamstring Recovery
A couple questions: 1) Is there anything I can adjust in my workouts to lessen the strain? I.e. less reps, lower weight, form recommendations? 2) Do you have any recommendations for post-workout recovery? Stretching, massage, ice, heat, glutamine, all the things? 3) Can I swap lifting days to give myself an added recovery day? Thanks!

3) Can I swap lifting days to give myself an added recovery day? Thanks! Yes, you can do what works best for you 🙂
Good luck!
