And if you’re trying to lose fat while building muscle... forget about it because that requires to completely different things to go on in your body at the same time
It is weird that you can't sleep normally after a work out. Do you take any supplements? |
I seem to me making good gains lately sleeping about 5-5.5 hrs per night, with maybe a 20 minute nap in the afternoon. The funny thing is, I feel awful with much more than 6 hrs of sleep- I used to try and get 8-9 hrs obsessively to help my bodybuilding progress and would drag terribly through the day. Lately I've cut it back to 5-6 hrs max, and even though waking up is no fun, I feel much better and can actually get psyched up to work out again.
