Critique Your Current Approach to Rest and Recovery
You think you rest, but the progress isn't matching the effort. Describe how you currently recover and this picks it apart: whether sleep is your main recovery tool or the first thing you sacrifice, whether your rest is active or just collapsing on the sofa, and where the gaps are. Honest feedback on the half of training most people neglect.
