post-WOD eating honestly does not get enough airtime

Right so everyone obsesses over pre-workout nutrition but then just... goes home and eats whatever. I did this for ages tbh. What actually made a difference for me: getting something in within like 30-40 minutes after finishing. Not a full meal, just enough — rice cakes with peanut butter and a whey shake does it most days. Dead simple, I know, but I kept overcomplicating it before. The days I skip that window I am noticeably more wrecked the next morning. Like DOMS that shouldn't be that bad. My coach kept saying it and I kept half-listening and then finally tested it properly and yeah, fair enough. Creatine goes in the shake too, post-session not pre — I switched a while back and feel like recovery is quicker but honestly hard to know what's doing what at this point. There's so many variables.
