Muscle growth when does it occur while sleeping?

[skunkworks]

after training? many recommend taking a complex carb and protein supplement after traing saying that it promotes growth but when does the actual muscle building take place.

All the time, When your sleeping and awake.

Muscle repair occurs all the time. Muscle repair is the process that "grows" muscle, so all the time I would guess. Kind of like asking "when does a cut heal"?

I would agree with the other fellas,that it occurs all the time.

I would also say during sleep and after going to bed on a high protien shake,
that can be a very good time for rebuilding and rejuvenating the body and probably
a good growing period as well.

I read a few different articles about sleep and GH is secreted predominantly during stages 3 and 4 of non-REM sleep.

i've gotten into the habit of having 40g whey in the middle of the night when i wake up to take a piss..

a competitor friend who has won some SERIOUS titles swears by it.

That's interesting. It seems logical. With the sleep HGH release protein systhesis would probably be really efficient.

It's all about keeping your body in a + nitrogen balance. Something I need to start practicing.

GH is released at the first delta burst. delta sleep is stages 3,4. (im boarded in sleep medicine)

Glutemine immideately after work out helps too.
