The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
When you're far away from a competition date or out of season or whatever it may be, and you're really trying to just tear up the body a little bit, to allow its natural healing and adaptation processes to take place, well, you don't want to negate that. You want the body to optimize its internal recovery and that's how muscle growth is going to happen, so.

Whereas in a competition phase where actually quality of exercise and quality of execution of skill and technical work has to be maintained, you want to throw the kitchen sink of recovery capabilities and recovery interventions in that scenario because the muscle building activity should be in the bank.
You have to be strategic about when you use some of these interventions. And the time when you preparing for a competition is not the appropriate time... Excuse me, is the appropriate time when you want to drive recovery and make sure that your body is optimized.
