Vol. 3 — Energy & Recovery: The Systems That Pay for the Work

Your body pays for every rep. This is the accounting.

Three energy economies run the show: aerobic, anaerobic, and phosphocreatine — the ATP that funds a single hard effort. Six chapters walk through the energy systems, the cardiovascular and respiratory machinery, the endocrine levers, and sleep architecture, then split recovery markers into signal and theatre — HRV and VO2max on one side, dashboards that guess on the other. Three tired ideas get buried: the anabolic window, the cold plunge right after lifting, and the watch that diagnoses overtraining from your wrist. Recovery isn't the reward for training. It's where the training actually becomes part of you.

Includes the complete audiobook (MP3, AI-narrated).
