Sleep and Bodybuilding

Many people do not get enough sleep, but if you want to maximize you performance, gains and fat loss, sleep is VERY important. Many people stay up watching TV and YouTube and are complain about that they do not have time to get enough sleep. The fact is that they in reality do have time. It is all about prioritization. You have to decide what is most important for YOU. YouTube or maximizing performance, fat loss and mass gain.
If you have not decided between sleep or TV, here are the negative aspects of not enough sleep:

  • You burn muscle rather than fat
  • You get fatter
  • Your athletic skills decrease by 9%
The positive aspects of enough sleep:
  • makes you leaner
  • makes you lose fat rather than muscle
  • helps you gain muscle
  • increases athletic skills
If you are still struggling to choose, let me help you. Choose the option with sleep involved. It really is beneficial in so many ways including no red eyes.
