Mark Ottobre breaks down five recovery killers: not sleeping 7-8 hours, mental fatigue from too many decisions, eating too little protein (aim for 2-2.5g per kilogram of body weight), drinking too much alcohol, and skipping rest days. Small fixes compound.
5 things killing your recovery right now. 1. Poor sleep. You should be sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night. 2. Mental fatigue and overwhelm. The more decisions that you need to make throughout the day, the more mentally fatigued and overwhelmed you're going to be. 3. Not eating enough protein. You should be eating between 2 to 2.5 times your body weight in protein each day. 4. Too much alcohol. Alcohol is high in calories and very easy to consume. 5. No rest days. You train yourself into the ground, and as a result, you don't improve. If you need some help, follow my page, Mark Ottobre, for more.
