Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #1146: Q&A: Sleep Strategies for Late Nights, Skinny Leg Solution, Microdosing Caffeine, & More


Listen Later

In this episode, I tackle a variety of questions ranging from training and supplementation, to the threat of AI towards humanity. 

I discuss how to grow skinny legs efficiently, how to optimize your sleep and wake-up time after a late night, whether hyperextensions are a good exercise, and a lot more.

As always, these questions come directly from my Instagram followers, who take advantage of my weekly Q&As in my stories. 

If you have a question you're dying to have answered, make sure you follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness) and look out for the Q&A posts. Your question might just make it into a podcast episode!

If you like this type of episode, let me know. Send me an email ([email protected]) or direct message me on Instagram. And if you don’t like it, let me know that too or how you think it could be better.
