Talk about over-exertion and wrong sleeping position. I woke up with a bad strain behind my neck, that I even had problem just sitting up. I was groaning just trying to get up and dragged myself to the bathroom. I turned on the heater and let the hot water run down my neck. Slight relief there, but after a good long bath, I walked out of the bathroom, like Michael Keaton in a Batman suit.
After a good dry up with the towel, putting on a shirt was like wearing metal armour. You don't feel comfortable at all. I applied some 'heat stickers' on my neck and back. After abt an hour, I could move my neck a bit, and did some neck stretching. I was thinking of taking some pain killers, but that would put me to sleep. So I am just bearing the pain as I try to type this blog post.

Myth #2 - If you eat more protein, you’ll build more muscle
There is only so much your body can absorb. If you're working out hard, consuming more than 0.9 to 1.25 grams of protein per pound of body weight is a waste.
Balance your intake into 3 parts carbohydrate and 1 part protein. Start eating a proper meal several hours later, this gives time for your body to absorb the carbo and protein. Then reverse that ratio in your snack after another few hours. This keeps high amino acids in your blood which is essential in your muscle building and recovery.
Tomorrow: Myth #3
