Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below scenario: you go to the gym on chest day, hit it hard as hell, tear it down, and eat 7 meals a day, but barely sleep at night. will not sleeping make you actually LOSE the muscle or keep you at the same strength and just prolong the muscle recovery stage? breaking it down, will you become weaker, stay the same or get slightly stronger? this may be a stupid question, but sleeplessness is something i deal with all the time, and im afraid to go all out during my workouts anymore because i know i will not sleep well so im afraid i will rip the muscles down too much that ill get weaker. any comments would be appreciated. thanks.

it depends like trainhd said if your not gettin any sleep at all your not gonna recover, aas and excercise don't make you grow sleep and recovery do. i need my sleep so i don't fuck around, i take meds to sleep its not worth feeling like shit and i lose weight as it is if i don't eat enough. if you are gettin 7 hours though you should be fine

Well sleep is good and all. but you dont do all your growing when your asleep.
sleep is mostly for nervouse system. I mean we like to get every little % we can but i would not get to wrapped up on it. most everyone has little trouble sleeping when on cycle and that is when they grow the most.
but you grow 24/7 just think about when you shave in the moring at night it is almost time to shave again and you have not even gone night night yet.

your definitely right about that but i no sleep plays a role in a more effective recovery, especially if a guy can't one hour. i lose weight if i don't sleep, winstrol was the only thing that ever made me wake up sweaty, but remeron handles it, i wont touch tren for this reason though
its a bit more complicated than this, but here goes.. pretty much any aas is a sympathetic stimulator.. what that means is: we have two basic modes of operation, the parasympathetic (feed/breed) which is a relaxing state our body desires, its physiological effects are low heart rate and bp, good blood flow to the gut, etc.. we have another system known as sympathetic which is desgined to kick in only in times of stress (fight or flight). for example, caffiene is known as a pretty potent sympahetic stimulator, it "revs"you up, you become a bit edgy, heart rate and bp go up, your body puts more blood to the muscles in preperation to run from that tiger or fight it,..that test high we all have is our body being much more sympathetically wired than it is designed. we are in a more or less un-natural 10 week state of flight of fight. the headaches you wake up with, the night sweats, the quicker than normal temper, all goes back to that concept. its our bodies way of dealing, and sleep/rest is SO IMPORTANT but its also hard for our poor nervous system to hop out of the sympathetic mode with all these hormones kicking around. so although you may go to bed at 11 and set the alarm for 7, i am willing to bet you often wake up at 5-6 even though you WANT to get 8 hours. its temporary thankfully, give a few weeks post cycle and things should calm down.
