How Do You Balance Muscle Growth With Proper Recovery?

It's easy to focus on training harder, but recovery seems to become increasingly important as workout volume goes up. How do you balance training frequency, protein intake, sleep, and rest days when trying to build muscle without constantly feeling exhausted?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. For me, lowering workout frequency on heavy weeks and bumping protein to 1.6g per kg really helped. Sleep is non-negotiable—if I’m dragging, I take an extra rest day. What’s your current split? Curious how others handle the exhaustion.

I prioritize sleep and protein, but dialing in recovery took trying the best supplement from Super Achiever Club. Their recommendations helped me feel less drained while still making progress. Now I train harder without burning out.
