The only thing that has ever given me pause, but more of a chuckle than anything is RPE. Not because of how they intend for it to be used, but for how some people will use it.
Beads of sweat? 10! Ten to the tenth!
Then of course there are a few others that will come to mind that are like “Yeah, that last one was tough.” after they do that mad scramble to regain consciousness. That scale simply doesn’t apply to them.
Solid concept. Hard to convey.
I confess that I am up at 4:30am, but still can’t talk myself into heading into the garage gym.
Man, you even got to sleep in!
You’re such a beast @T3hPwnisher !
You guys are crazy, I wake up at 5: 45 (by choice after 8hrs of sleep) and feel crap most days
I only need to sleep 6 hours to feel like crap most days.
If I get less than 8hrs, I don’t function.
Even worse, the more tired I am, the lower my caffeine tolerance
I have a wild solution…
Seriously, I need a solution other than “get used to it”
I won’t always have the luxury of 8hrs
You serious Clark?
I’m a morning person, so it’s not the waking up early. The problem is that I now have the luxury of sleeping 8hrs a night. In the future, I will not be so fortunate (as evidenced by all the adults here and my professors complainig about being sleep deprived).
On sleep, I for some reason feel better on ~7 + a short nap than 8+
This seems rather oxymoronic
naps…naps are good.
Interesting, my brother is the same way.
I generally feel worse after naps… and sleeping in
Yep 
That’s like saying I won’t always have the luxury of being able to lift x weight so I’m never going to lift over y to get used to it.
I say, make the most of what you’ve got while you have it.
Sleep quicker.
As I got older, waking up without being in a zombie state became easier. Just add 20 years to your life.
More nutrition.
A teen client, who I swear to god was high, noted that she was having “a good breakfast,” which she clarified when I asked that by “good” she meant BOTH tasty and healthy. The breakfast: what I guess to be 3 scrambled eggs covered with catsup, three link sausages, and two cinnamon rolls w/ glaze. This was eaten with mouth open, while I sat silently watching because she was too distracted to both talk and eat.
I confess that if I get the job I’m seeking she will not be one of the clients I keep, and also that I am reminded that as much as I may complain about feeling out of control or that my pants are tight, I am arrogantly proud of the way I live in terms of diet and exercise.
