Fredhutch,I appreciate you posting your own experiences. Fredhutch and gruntbrain, I read this: www.nasgaweb.com/forum/an-interesting-discussion-off-of-john-brozs-site_topic15108.htmla year ago. Of course bulgarian olympic guys have more "help" than non-steroid users, but it is interesting. When I was lifting sandbags 5-6 times a week, I did not tire no matter what, even when sleeping bad for days in a row. I had more capacity back then(I trained like that if I remember correctly for a year), but now I train smarter.

... when you first start training every day, you feel really awful, but if you can stick with it for three weeks or so, suddenly your body adapts and then you are really going great...your strength starts to go up, you find that you recover very fast, and your work capacity just goes through the roof. This is what Anthony Ditillo said and that has been my experience. You not only get great work capacity for training, it also carries over to the rest of your day too....you feel like an unstoppable machine. It's a great feeling and well worth the effort. One specific technique that always worked well for me, was doing non-lock repetitions...for example, on pullups stopping short of the bottom to keep tension on the lats, and so on. This was a favorite training method of Sergio Oliva. Worked pretty good for him! It is exactly what I am doing and feeling, using high tension self resistance for ~60 min daily. Indeed, after training you feel great and full of energy. Non-lock repetitions through the sets and short rests provide amazing pumping.

Hmmm....just in case anyone is interested in "muscle growth while sleeping", I have a book around somewhere that recommends you train one bodypart right before you go to bed, with just a set or two, and then get to sleep as fast as you can, according to the author you will grow better since the body goes right into recuperation and rebuild mode. Never tried it though, by bedtime the last thing I want to do is another set. Somebody do it and report to HQ. Well, I just did something I never thought I'd do - a late night workout. This evening my wife informed me that we're going to Tall Town tomorrow and that she wants to get an early start. I really didn't want to miss tomorrow morning's workout, so I did it tonight. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'd just better wake up a rippling mass of muscle. That's all I gotta say.

"Do Tomorrow's Workout Today!" Kind of catchy, huh? Seriously Bruce, did working out late make it hard (or easier) to go to sleep?

Getting to sleep last night was about the same as it normally is for me. For some reason I had the drive and the energy to workout last night. But, not tonight. Not after a day in Wichita, not to mention the 80 mile drive, to and from. No, mon ami', mornings are for working out, evenings are for relaxing.
