I find I need two different modes:

- hypertrophy to actually gain strength and muscle (ie. longer recovery time)

- maximum recovery to heal from a strenuous exercise and be ready for more the next day (ie. shortest possible recovery time)

In the second scenario, I don't care about gaining strength at all, and the recovery is the only important aspect.
