Lack of Sleep = Lack of Gains!! (Anything < 7 Hours)

Your body does a significant amount of its muscle recovery and regeneration while you’re sleeping! So much in fact that studies have shown a single night of sleep depravation will induce anabolic resistance, decreasing muscle protein synthesis by at least 18%!! Lack of sleep will also significantly impair maximum strength.

But, you may ask, how much sleep is enough??

The largest study on the subject was a cross-sectional study performed on 10,125 university students between the ages of 16-30. In it, researchers discovered that students who got at least 7 hours of sleep at night were able to achieve their maximum muscular performance… while muscular gains were IMPAIRED in those who slept for less than 7 hours per night.

APPLICATION: Be sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night if you want to maximize your gains!!
