Kiwijuice Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Kevin Levrone said he slept 10 hours a night and he thinks that had a really big effect on his recovery and gains.Protein synthesis and tissue repair doesn't occur to any greater extent than while your're awake. The whole when you sleep you grow thing is a myth. The function of sleep is to consolidate memories and to organize your thoughts.There's just no way at all thats true. Where did you get that from ?

Riccardo Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Its from a Doctor and lecturer who runs one of the leading sleep clinics in NZ. Go figure huh.Despite the fact that researchers know that sleep is an important necessity, the reason that this is true is not so clear. For example, although death can result from sleep deprivation as described above, the actual physiological mechanism is largely unknown. It would seem logical to most of us that sleep would play a role in rest and restoration of our body. However, the evidence from sleep deprivation studies with humans doesn't support this logical assumption. For example, it does not appear, surprisingly, that a lack of sleep significantly interferes with one's ability to exercise. Further, the typical physiological correlates of the "stress response" do not occur when a human is deprived of sleep. On the other hand, evidence is beginning to accumulate that indicates that the function of sleep is not to restore the "body", but rather to rest and restore the "brain". First, this is supported by behavioral evidence from sleep deprivation studies. While subjects may be able to exercise effectively, and while they may not exhibit a stress response, theircognitive function is impairedBefore you all go get your jimmies in a rustle increases in GH, testosterone etc don't necessarily mean increased growth. There are associations between testosterone/GH levels and muscularity, body comp etc but that doesn't necessarily mean that anytime where these hormones are elevated, you are growing/repairing or whatever I think GH is only released during sleep because you are fasting also. Fasting is the most potent stimulator of GH secretion. As a disclaimer, this is just what I've been told from a professor who conducts research in this area and treats people with sleep disorders, not necessarily my own beliefs. I'm a person who definitely needs their 8 hours to function properly let alone go to the gym! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwijuice Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Interesting Read RiccardoTonight i did deadlifts and hamsworked up to 220x2 on deadlifts.... this is my max at the moment. the second rep was hard work and took a while to lock out..... got 200x3 just over a week over so decent improvement still.plus hamstring stuff , leg press, leg curls, good mornings. Going to add in hyperextensions next week.Notes: Have been training the last week just havent been bothered logging it. Adding more good fats into my diet and cutting back on carbs a bit. Tomorrow i will be starting Var at 40mg a day and creatine at 20mg a day.... hopefully the var is legit it did come in a pretty package so that means it must be real right ! will soon see...
