if you grind tourney you are usually siting ~55m*by a few times (if you run deep) so some sort of mobility/streching/bodyweights work is great.
cashh is a bit different since you can leave at any moment but still...

I put out fires... Yeah fires... I have four kids aged 10 and under. There is always a fire to put out or prevent.

I dance. I turn the volume 100 and dance on a cool song.
It is a kind of ritual to celebrate that i made it to the break.
Then in the last minute I remind myself that i have to concentrate and keep grinding.

I personally recommend going outside to get some fresh air followed by a cold pint of water :)

It works for me, it allows a time to re focus and gain a great deal of concentration back.

GL at the tables all.

I sleep, because it is very helpful to be always concentrated and reserved

Sometimes when it's a long day I jump into the tub and take a cold shower. This wakes me up and helps me keep focused. If I don't jump in the shower I hit the toilet whether I need to go or not, and then I stretch, grab a snack, keep the water bottle filled, and generally move around to get the blood flowing.

I take a whiz, light a cig, and roll a joint. :)

Man, I still remember the day before synchronized breaks became a thing... you could play a whole day's run of MTT and never have a true break.

Whatever you do, the most important thing is to not watch the table for those five minuts :D you have to do something which makes you relax :icon_bigs
