That's wrong...sleep is very important for muscle recovery/building. This is the time your body repairs itself, without sleep, it's almost impossible to grow (naturally).

went back to the gym again. only ran for 10 minutes tho, cause of my damn foot. afterwards, did some minor lifting with the arms/abs. then pullups. then leg lifts and dips on the cap't chair. felt pretty good. afterwards, i went to my hotel's hot tub and steam room and relaxed

did you just ignore everyhing i wrote in that paragraph.. i believe i gave an explanation. How do you thing dolphins grow or even the blue whale (the largest animal in the world).

Your body is not sleeping, cells are continually dividing and dying regardless whether you're at rest or not.. you don't just grow at night, you grow constantly. metabolic rate slows down and activity is reduced during sleep. The mind controls the body thats true but nutrition outweighs rest for sure.. there is no argument there.

So if I sleeping stand up i'll be big like a dolphin orblue whale?

so basically i probably should have gone to the gym. i actually eat pretty well so nutrition isn't my issue just sleep...my work stresses me out so going to the gym helps but at the same time i'm running on 5hrs of sleep which isn't good.

exactly you dumb ass


im just saying that SLEEEPING is over rated.. resting on the other hand lowers metabolism and encourages a calorie surplus (you're body can use this energy towards repair and growth.

I do pretty well on only 4-5 hours sleep. I don't have a choice a lot of the time...just have lots of shit to do. Homework, mainly. :/

if your trying to gain weight i would say sleeping is more important (you want to use as little calories as possible) losing weight is not as important. as long as your eating healthy and not starving yourself. I don't think lack of sleep is going to force your body to go into fat storage mode.

not looking to gain any weight, would like to drop a couple pounds but not like it's urgent. i've got no real complaints. as for healthy eating i cook all my own stuff and am a walking healthy snack machine . i'm out of my apt most of the day so i like to make sure i have healthy eating alternatives around even on the go.
