late night cals while juicing

[roland376]

my uncle gavae me some good advice to gain some extra mass while juicin
set your alarm for 3 am and down a pre made high cal/protein drink. This will help keep high nitrogen levels, and hopefully add some mass

 

[crimson coal]

I have heard this too...Good advice if yer looking to put on.

 

[crimson coal]

Only problem is..only way I'm getttin outta bed at 3 in the mornin is if i have to bust out a large piss.

 

[BigPsyco]

Im on the same boat as coal, i just keep an isopure on my night stand and swig it every few hours while im sleepin

 

[techlifter_2]

that would also interrupt your REM sleep. doesnt REM stimulate the release of GH?

 

[Travbedaman]

Unless you are "really" having trouble putting on pounds while chemically enhanced (which no one should if you are eating properly during the day, every 2 to 3 hours) I don`t think it`s necesary to wake yourself up while sleeping....

Just eat a boat load of cottage cheese right before bed for some slow burning casein protein and get your rest so you can be energized the next day.

i eat about 2K cals before bed every night for the past 2 weeks and let me tell you! not only me but EVERYONE is telling me i am gettin huge lately.. so the late cals sure may be working!

Lots of people do this. I recall reading that Gary Strydom used to eat chicken breasts every four hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I'd be gagging on them after a few days.

I figure if you wake up, it will help to down some protein, but I wouldn't set my alarm to get up to do it.

I do think it is a good idea to have a protein shake before bed. I use caseinate protein in mine since it digests slowly. I also mix in peanut butter or flax oil with the powder and milk since this is supposed to further slow digestion and keep aminos available most of the night.

when I was competing, I would drink a ton of water before bed, when i woke up in the middel of the night i would eat a can of tuna befoer i pissed. or else i would jsut piss and go back to bed. I lied it alot! As far as the REM sleep goes. I'm not 100% sure but i think the GH release happens shorty after you enter REM sleep. with this in mind you mihgt get the added benefit of tha t release twice in a night. You might want to look that up. All i can say is it really heped me in my dieting days of comptetition!!

BUMP for mike001

 

[serge]

i can see downing a high protein low carb drink in the middle of the night, but high calorie drink will add more fat then muscle, you dont need carbs while you sleep.

 

[Hoover]

I agree with Serge. I tend to wake up every 2 hours in the middle of the night. Thus, I will have a scoop or two of whey protein with water. You do not need the extra carbs when sleeping. Unless you really want to put on weight and are bulking up.
