The Most Recovered Man in the World

What I’ve found actually helps me recover, train hard, and do it again tomorrow.

August 10, 2026

I’ve tried just about every recovery tool you can think of.

Saunas. Ice baths. Red light. Lasers. Compression boots. PEMF mats. Massage. Dry needling. Sleep tech.

Some things have stuck. Others haven’t.

After years of training, experimenting, and figuring out what actually makes me feel and perform better, this is the recovery routine I keep coming back to.

Every Day

Around 5pm, I do three rounds of contrast therapy.

15–20 minutes at 194°F in my Sisu Sauna, followed by 2–3 minutes in my Ice Barrel at around 45°F.

I’ve also turned this into community time. I take meetings from the sauna, invite friends over, and catch up with people while recovering.

Ice Barrel: Code EHINMAN

During the day, I’ll use my Kineon MOVE+ on my lower back for 10–15 minutes while I’m working at my computer.

It takes almost no additional time out of my day, which makes it easy to stay consistent with.

At night, I’ll throw on my compression boots for 30–45 minutes at 240 mmHg while lying on a PEMF mat and watching YouTube. My favorite boots are by Recon wellness use code HINMAN for 15% off.

It’s become part of my wind down routine.

And then there’s the most important recovery tool I have:

Sleep.

I aim for eight hours every night. Usually asleep around 10pm and awake around 6am.

I keep the bedroom at 65°F or colder, wear a sleep mask, use Ozlo Sleepbuds, and try to stick to the same schedule every day.

Every Week

I get a 90 minute deep tissue massage.

If it were more affordable, I’d probably do it more often.

With the amount of training I do, it’s one of the things I’ve found consistently helps keep my body feeling good.

When I Need It

If something starts bothering me, I’ll see a physical therapist and get dry needling.

I don’t do it just to do it. I use it when my body is telling me something needs attention.

And when I travel, I try to book an Airbnb or hotel with a bathtub so I can take a hot Epsom salt bath. Hot is hot, this is the best substitute for a sauna.

I’ve learned that recovery isn’t about finding one magic tool.

It’s about finding the things that work for you and building them into your life consistently.

The better I recover, the more I can train.

The more I can train, the more I can do the things I love.
