- Quietly yes — every overtrained hamstring I see is hiding a chapter of this book.
- Bathtub commitment
- Slow, annotated soak; best in 20-page chunks before bed.
- My take
- Reads like the manual I wish half my patients’ MDs had. Dense, but the kind of dense that shifts how you see every sideline collapse and every "I’m fine" lie.
- Best read during
- A rainy JP Sunday when the Green Line is down again and you were staying home anyway.
