The Post-Workout Recovery Secret You’re Sleeping On
You’ve dialed in your workouts, nutrition, and hydration. But if progress still feels slow, there’s one recovery factor often overlooked: sleep.
Muscles repair and rebuild while you sleep. Less sleep means less time to recover.
If getting enough rest is a challenge, CBDistillery offers targeted support your sleep solutions.
Their gummies and tinctures combine non-intoxicating CBD with CBN, a cannabinoid commonly used to promote better sleep.
In a 2021 CBDistillery study, participants reported sleeping longer on average after using CBD and CBN together.

Tip of the day
The standard dink is just the foundation. You need four distinct variations to truly dominate the kitchen.
The first is the high dink, which you hit with a more aggressive upward angle when your opponent gives you a ball above the net. This forces them into a defensive position and puts pressure on their next shot.
The second is the angled dink that travels wide to pull your opponent off the court. This requires hitting the ball early and aiming for the outside corner of the kitchen.
The third is the drop dink, which is essentially a softer dink that lands very close to the net on their side, making it nearly impossible to attack.
The fourth is the crosscourt dink, which sets up your partner for a putaway by keeping the ball on the opposite diagonal from where it came.
Most players get stuck using one or two dink types. The teams that advance to 4.0 and above master all four and mix them based on what their opponent shows them.
Practice hitting each one until you can hit them from both the forehand and backhand sides automatically.
Key points
High dinks with upward trajectory create offensive opportunities when opponents give you short balls above net height
Angled dinks pulled wide off the court take away your opponent's court positioning and create unforced errors
Drop dinks played soft and close to the net on their side are nearly impossible to attack aggressively
Crosscourt dinks set up your partner by keeping the ball away from them and creating angle for their putaway
Mixing all four dink types prevents your opponents from settling into a rhythm and keeps them guessing
