1: Read some more main stream bodybuilding magazines on the topic.
2: Continue to do the same routine in the same exact way that isn’t currently giving you notable results.
3: Get a wrist watch with a digital timer. Set it to go off every 5 minutes during the day and night. When the timer goes off, eat again. This will ensure you aren’t losing muscle at any time day or night. If you still don’t get stronger and gain muscle, set it for every 3 minutes…you get the idea.
I could have just x2 the last person’s brilliant post but I wanted to propose a comprehensive plan.
Everyone is smaller when they wake up. You are somewhat carb depleted and do not have that “full” look seeing as you just went on empty for the past 8 hours. This happens to me every morning, you are just being paranoid.
“If i cannot add weight or reps to the bar from workout to workout where is the stimulas for my body to grow?”
by doing it again. that is the stimulus. If everyone was always able to add weight to the bar every session, everyone would be benching 600 lbs and squatting a grand. Unless you are an alien you are not losing muscle at night. It could be water weight, but most likely is in your head. stop looking in the mirror every day.[/quote]
his problem is this.
dude works out he gets a pump.
goes home thinking " I got huge" and then in the am whne the pump is gone he thinks its magic and its gone.
It’s just a case of mild dehydration. You’re imagening the whole thing. I remember how I used to imagine that I was fatter in the evening. Of course it was just the opposite of your “problem”. It was extra cellular water retention. Your water levels change naturally throughout the day. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.
Getting up at night to eat will just fuck up your hormone production, so don’t. Make some changes to your training if you’ve been doing the same thing for a long time, and eat more food in the day time instead.
