ADVICE

Remove Late Caffeine To Protect Sleep

  • Avoid late caffeine because it disrupts sleep and recovery; check individual half‑life calculators.
  • Remove caffeine for a few days to reset and schedule caffeine‑free blocks when starting new training phases.
ADVICE

Start With What Feels Natural In The Gym

  • Start training with movements that feel natural and let you perform high volume without pain.
  • Keep learning biomechanics so those natural choices align with effective long‑term strategies.
