Lights Out: The Lock Down Sleep Requirements
ОглавлениеLights out! No excuses. Shut the lights off or go to the hole!
You have 8 weeks to get right and get ripped. Your body is on Lock Down every day and every night. You’re here to train, inmate. Sleep, rest, and recovery are just as important as your workouts.
Muscle fibers work similarly to skin tissue when you get cut. The skin tears and forms a scar. The scar tissue becomes stronger and harder than the original skin. Similarly, your muscle fibers rip and tear during your workouts, then with rest, grow back stronger and harder.
During your 8 weeks on LockDown, your body is going to be tearing itself down every day and rebuilding itself every night. The harder you push yourself with the weights, the harder you need to push yourself to get deep restorative sleep.
Get 8-10 hours of sleep per night. Cut the excuses. And cut the lights.
