Summary
This is one of my favorite episodes to date! Dr. James Hoffmann of RP came on the show to talk on Recovery and WOW did he drop some knowledge. Himself and some others from Renaissance Periodization have created "The Recovery Book" (Grab a copy here) and today he came on the show to talk all things Recovery. We geeked out, which is why I loved the episode so much. You can check out all that they do at www.renaissanceperiodization.com or by heading over to @rpstrength on instagram.

| 0:33.5 | smartest guys in the industry when it comes to periodization, training, and now specifically |
| 0:38.5 | recovery. As they came out with the recovery book, something that I've recommended a bunch of times |
| 0:43.6 | on this podcast and to a lot of my mentor clients and my coaches who work for me as well, |
