Hitting the gym a couple of times every week, and watching your muscles grow is not hard. Physical exercise and targeted muscle weight training are only two of the factors involved and there are several more factors.

Dont underestimate the effect that sleep has on your workout. You need to rest properly, and that's not just between workouts.

Sleep is crucial for successful bodybuilding for a several reasons. The body need sleep to recover and rebuild its muscle. This is the time when the other body parts are not using energy, or interior resources that the body uses to repair itself from the effects of bodybuilding.

Adequate sleep is vital for keeping your mental focus sharp and your energy level high. A lack of mental focus can destroy your results while you're in the gym. You can be motivated, but if you don't have your work out planned out you will not have a successful workout.

Sleep is critical because it allows your body to recover and control the rhythm of your body's hormones. Hormones, that are essential for proper metabolim and muscle gain, are released during sleep. Hormones, released during sleep, are essential for proper metabolism and muscle gain. At the same time, sleep also inhibits other hormones that can lead to fat gain and other unseemly consequences.

Irregular sleeping habits are detrimental to your efforts to get in shape. Sleeping 3 hours on Monday, and 11 hours on Tuesday, is not the same thing as sleeping 7 hours on each night. That's what you should shoot for, at least 7 hours a night. Keep in mind, that no sleep will ruin your efforts at bodybuilding. - 17440
