04 — Discounts & gear

What I actually use

Split into two lists on purpose. The first one pays me something; the second one doesn't. You should know which is which before you read a single word of praise.

I earn from these paid or discounted relationship

PlatinumLED BIOMAX red light panel Referral Thirty minutes most nights before bed. Honest read: I notice it on sleep quality and joint soreness, not on anything I can measure. Buying through this link earns me store credit at no extra cost to you. Shop →
AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece Ambassador Jaw-positioning mouthpiece for hard erg and interval work. Code DAVID10 takes 10% off — that's my legal first name, not a typo. I'm a compensated ambassador and earn a commission on purchases using it. DAVID10 →
CRBN Pickleball Ambassador A real relationship I built with the best pickleball brand in the market, helping me rise to a 4.2+ DUPR while in business school. Code dchrispb. Paid ambassador relationship. dchrispb →

I use these and earn nothing no affiliation, no code

Everyday Athlete Fuel System Pre- and post-session fuelling through heavy training blocks. No relationship, no code, no commission — I just buy it. Shop →
Compression boots My favorite recovery tool on the list. Thirty to sixty minutes after a run workout does more for me than anything else here. No code yet
Voodoo floss bands Least expensive prehab/rehab tool on the list and the one I'd replace first if it went missing. Ankles and knees, two minutes, before training rather than after. No code yet
Massage gun Useful and oversold. Good for pre-session tissue prep, not a substitute for sleep, food, or backing off. No code yet

The rows marked Referral or Ambassador pay me — in store credit, commission, or product — if you buy through the link or code. That's disclosed on each row rather than only down here, which is what the FTC actually asks for. Nothing gets onto either list that isn't already in my own training, and when something stops earning its place it comes off and I'll say why.
