Train Your Weaknesses
- Train movements that address weak links, like grip strength for deadlifts or core strength for squats.
- This improves overall strength and reduces the risk of injury.

- Even with caloric restriction and exercise, insufficient sleep can lead to muscle loss instead of fat loss.
Prioritize Sleep
- Prioritize sleep over supplements for muscle growth and overall health.
- Tools like Eight Sleep can significantly improve sleep quality by regulating temperature.
