Reviv feels a bit like being in a video game & inputting an overpowered cheat code for vastly improved body recovery. At least in my experience—158 days into it. Years ago, I would need like 2-3 days or more of rest to properly restore myself after a workout session—now I can go without any real rest and still recover fast within a minute or two. The level of soreness I experience now post-workout has reduced by an absurd degree; it is a night-and-day type of difference. Biomechanics definitely helps to make more sense of figures like Travis Pastrana, who are capable of quickly recovering from serious injuries
it's funny too because years ago I could hardly keep up with my friend who always managed to outclass me in everything we did due to his superior biomechanics. meanwhile, I probably appeared weak because I would often bring up feeling sore &/or tired, especially during gym sessions. your substack posts help make sense of all these phenomena!
