Use a Taper / Deload Before Reaching for Recovery Supplements
If training hard and not seeing results, first consider reducing fatigue via taper/deload before adding supplements. General taper guideline: reduce training volume by about 50% for about a week to a week and a half while maintaining intensity and roughly maintaining frequency.
