For those of you following along with me here.... How do you guys "amplify" your rest. I just got done having deep tissue work done over the weekend and I've got some chiropractic work scheduled for tomorrow. These plus making sure I get 8 hrs of sleep and taking in the meal on clockwork are how I do it. How about you guys?

I see the calve reps at the bottom of back day. Do you feel that it benefits you putting them there as a completion of the chain for back?

I do feel its a good way to complete the posterior chain. Also, it's one less thing to have to do on leg day.

10 hours sleep is better if you can sleep through. Of course this is do as I say not as I do. At my age I'm up every hour pissing. I got 4 hours straight sleep Friday night and thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

I totally get what you are saying. I don't remember the last time I've had more than 3 hrs of straight sleep ... I've usually got to get up and pee too because of how much water I take in every day. I don't count the trip to the bathroom though when I say i routinely get 8 hrs... but 10 would be so awesome...and a mid afternoon nap.... a man can dream.
