The BIGGEST aspect of my recovery is by far supplements. Let me say it again for the person in the back: SUPPLEMENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT IN YOUR JOURNEY. Here’s why: I’m not saying you HAVE to have a protein powder, or a sleeping pill. I’m saying, you NEED to fill in the missing gaps in your nutrition by supplement with multivitamins, probiotics, greens, fish oil, and so much more!

As far as what I recommend to athletes now from a coaching perspective: Creatine, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Beta Alanine, and Magnesium. Outside of that a lot of supplements are pretty worthless, and you can get most of your protein and carbs from diet alone.

I wake up every morning at 4:30 because I’m crazy and am usually at the gym by around 6 to 6:15 a.m. because I like to get my workouts out of the way early since, on days I do have a job, I can still make an early call time. Right when I wake up, I eat. I eat one cup of egg whites with a handful of spinach and half of a sweet potato. It’s very random but I’ve eaten it every single day for probably five years and it’s working so I ain’t fixing it! I also take chlorella, which is a form of algae that helps with energy and digestion, iron, fish oil, and CLA with every meal.

That means I enjoy the occasional diet soda or energy drink along with a five-hour energy type drink in the morning.

Taking multivitamins such as cod liver or fish oil is also advisable. Rest and recovery also aren’t emphasized as much as training itself.
