THINGS TO…
…DO 🧘♂️
Stretch Your T-Spine

How Long Can You Skip The Gym…
…before you start to lose muscle mass? While it may seem like one missed gym session will have your biceps shrinking and your quads fading to nothing, you actually have to stop training completely for at least 2-3 weeks before you start to lose muscle mass.
…EAT 🍫

Next time you’re craving some chocolate but don’t want to wreck your macros, try these Nutella Chocolate Chip Brownies. With 67 grams of protein per batch (6g per serving), you’ll get the best of both worlds.
