2 Weeks Out: Deep Tissue, Recovery & Mindset

In this episode, I take some time off from intense training to focus on the equally critical element of recovery. Joined by Marcel, one of the top physical therapists, we dive deep into optimizing my recovery strategy, particularly for my lats and upper body. We cover deep tissue manipulation, fascia work, and effective stretching techniques. I also discuss my fitness journey, body fat goals, the importance of discipline, and the role of mental health in achieving peak performance. Marcel and I talk about the significance of body work for athletes and general fitness enthusiasts, addressing connective tissue, mobility, and overall well-being. Join us for an informative session that highlights the behind-the-scenes work required to maintain peak physical condition. 00:00 Introduction and Focus on Recovery 00:40 Initial Assessment and Weight Discussion 01:09 Lat and Shoulder Mobility Check 02:15 Body Composition and Motivation 05:04 Deep Tissue Work and Stretching 06:32 Importance of Body Work and Maintenance 09:20 Scraping and Cupping Techniques 17:46 Final Thoughts and Personal Reflections Whether you’re an athlete, a high-performing executive, a busy parent, or simply training to stay strong, recovery is key. 📲 Follow me on IG: @thestoryofapollo 💊 Supplements: thorne.com/u/theapollomethod (code ApolloPro) 🧬 Bloodwork & biomarkers: insidetracker.com (code ApolloPro) 🥗 Meals delivered: mademeals.co (code Apollo30) 🛍️ Amazon favorites: amazon.com/shop/thestoryofapollo 📩 Subscribe to my newsletter: the-apollo-method.myflodesk.com/journeybio Special thanks to Marcel Jacobs, PT — Go to marceljacobspt.com to learn more Hashtags #TheApolloMethod #BodybuildingRecovery #FasciaRelease #InjuryPrevention #TrainingOver40 #DisciplineWins #AthleteMindset #PTforAthletes #RecoveryMatters
