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

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 (mike@muscleforlife.com) 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.
