Recovery starts before you lift. The Pre-Game Light is a wearable red light pad that pairs 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light, the same two wavelengths used by premium belts that cost $190 to $549.
Strap it on the muscle you are about to train, set the timer for 10 minutes, then go lift. Research on red light (photobiomodulation) suggests using it before exercise may help with next-day muscle soreness. Most people use it after their workout instead.
