How to Build a Recovery Stack That Works
One tub of protein won’t cut it. To see real recovery results — faster muscle repair, less soreness, and better performance — you need to stack smart.
At Club Bunker, we’ve built recovery stacks for serious lifters, beginners, and athletes. Here’s how to create one that actually works.
1. Start with Protein (Always)
Recovery begins with amino acids — and your best source is Whey Protein. It’s fast-digesting, low in carbs and fats, and rich in leucine (the amino acid that triggers muscle growth).
-
Take post-workout or first thing in the morning
-
25–30g per serve
2. Add Creatine Daily
Creatine is non-negotiable. It supports energy production (ATP), improves strength output, and accelerates recovery at the cellular level.
-
Take 5g daily, any time
-
Stay consistent for best results
3. Include BCAAs or EAAs
Aminos like BCAAs help prevent muscle breakdown, especially during fasted training or calorie deficits. They can also reduce DOMS (soreness).
-
Take during or after workouts
-
Optional for those who hit protein goals, but useful in intense training blocks
4. Hydration = Underrated Recovery Tool
Don’t sleep on electrolytes. They support muscular contraction, nerve function, and fluid balance. Try a Hydration Powder if you’re training hard, in heat, or doing high-volume work.
-
Sip throughout the day
-
Also useful intra-workout
5. Bundle Smart to Save
We’ve combined our best recovery tools into one bundle so you don’t have to think about it.
Grab the Club Bunker Recovery Stack and get:
-
Whey Protein Isolate
-
Creatine Monohydrate
-
Amino Energy (temp. BCAA sub)
All bases covered. All in one box.
Final Thoughts
A great recovery stack isn’t about hype — it’s about consistency.
-
Use protein to rebuild
-
Creatine to restore
-
Aminos to protect
-
Hydration to support
Stack smart. Train harder. Recover stronger.
