Do you prioritise sleep?

HangTheGods · 2021-01-20T00:21:32+00:00

Whatever "training" you're doing, doing it for 4-5 hours every day at the expense of sleep is going diminish any gains and will hurt you in the long-run. It starts with being patient enough to refuse to sacrifice your health for productivity. Nobody in human history has ever had time in one day or even one lifetime to cram in everything they really want to do.

Like Arnold said: "sleep faster"

Training 4-5 hours and sleeping 4-5 hours... So you're doing more than you need to, putting a heavier need for recovery on your body, yet you are giving your body less recovery time than someone training much less.

Yes 100%. Sleep is extremely important idc what anyone says. I sleep 7-8 hours a night.

You know even professional bodybuilders on roids don’t even train 3 times a day right?

I think most don’t even train 2 times a day, it’s just what they say so normies who don’t have a clue about training won’t think at all steroids.

They’ll think “well he does train twice a day”.

Gym gains don't happen in the gym. They happen while you sleep. Always prioritise 8 hours of good sleep. Not just for that, but you have a biological imperative need for REM sleep. If you fall behind on it, you will become delusional.

For me sleep is very important. If I don’t get enough sleep I will feel like ass the entire day. it fucks up my mood and interactions with people.

Lack of sleep can hurts you so much in the long run.

Fill us in on this 3x daily, 5 hour training sessions. This sounds like a waste to be honest. And boring. Unless you are an Olympian then I take it back.

over on the testosterone sub we get questions all the time from guys who don't sleep enough and end up tanking their testosterone. Eat/sleep/exercise right are the three pillars of building muscle. You are overtraining and that's taking up your sleep time. I can do 1000 reps of curls with 1 lb weight and it will take forever, or I can do 10 reps with 15lb and get the same results in a fraction of the time.

You are wasting time and fucking around in the gym if you can train so much

if you don't, you're a retard

You're doing it wrong. Better to design your life around 8 hours of sleep. That means you gotta cut some other things.

DisciplinedMind1 · 2021-01-20T09:22:34+00:00

Sleep is super important

You'll lose cognitive functions and health if you don't. Your joints will be all kinds of fucked up when you're old.

Think about your future.

You do your repairing & growing whilst you sleep dude, you need to find a better balance.

anonyree · 2021-01-20T16:31:39+00:00

You are u under training. Better to train 40 min every other day and sleep 8 hours

ChadsGrandfather · 2021-01-20T00:23:19+00:00

You’re an over achiever and this is great. You will perform even better when you’re well rested. I think the question is what matters most to you? Do you want to perform really well on what you work on? Or do you want to go in with a half tank on what you’re working on?

Focusing your energies will help you. Maybe you feel you need to get there quicker. Give yourself a bigger timeline. Maybe you need to do all this stuff to make you feel like you achieved something. That’s fine. But what do you want? Do you want to feel good and rested? Sleep. If not? Keep going but keep in mind the cost. Eventually this will backfire it’s not sustainable. Maybe if you want to get somewhere faster you might need to work smarter. You’re obviously a hard worker. Why not work hard and smart? Just questions you could ask yourself so you can find your path.

Idc what any of the meatheads on here say, anyone that prioritizes sleep is braindead. You only have 1 life, there are ways to get strong/fit without giving up an extra 5-15% of your waking life.
