DAY 5:Upper Back & Calves

Before my workout today, I’ll be having my cryotherapy and back alignment done as part of my weekly ritual to stay healthy. You’ve got to be willing to invest in your well-being out of the gym so that you progress within it. Ever since I adopted these new habits, my recovery has improved a lot.

What forms of physical therapy do you use regularly? Tag me on your socials with #HardcoreTrainer2, opens in a new tab and let me know!

One thing I’m already noticing in this transformation, which you will as well, is the instant growth in appetite. This is a good thing because it shows that the diet is stimulating my metabolism, as it should, which is why I’m hungry. Embrace it!

Let’s crush back and calves.
