REST

Most people live, whether physically, intellectually, or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger.

William James

  1. ah, yes...rest. for those who take it for granted - i'm hear to tell you that it is a privilege. trust me, rest when you can wherever you can. my standard operating hours have went from the norm 9-5er to nights in the snap of a finger...and i love every second of it.

  2. Moonlighting or baby hours? We so easily forget that hypertrophy occurs at rest and not during activity. Furthermore, the more relaxed or rested a muscle is the more it can contract. Finally, rest/sleep has an evolutionary/recuperative factor that we do not fully understand. I hope you guys are well!
