@Godfavorabletome Over the counter supplements meaning pills, not usually. Fat gain (weight gain) comes either from eating extra calories or from not burning them.
@SpartanLife1821 ya I agree with you, the effort lifting weights still has to be done. But they can slack off on other things like sleeping and get away with it. That was my point. Now im not saying 1-3 hours of sleep at night, im just saying that they dont require 8-9 hours.
Rickalex21 i do agree that steroids do help alot, and even allow trainers to get away with questionable form with the weights. But i dont believe that simply taking steroids will make you look good on thier own, users still need to do the basic compound movements and have some knowledge of how to properly train thier body parts.
Heres a fun fact, the former MR. Olympia Dexter jackson sais he only gets SIX, thats right 6 hours of sleep a night. He said he goes to bed around 2 am after watching nancy grace. And he built the best body in the world. So even with lack of sleep a.k.a like in the army you can still get in amazing shape. But sure more sleep would be beneficial maybe it depends on the person. Im sure a natural body builder would need more sleep because they cant rely on steroids for recovery.
Actually sleep deprivation and other forms of stress including excess exercising leads to buildup of cortisol in your system and thats a nasty litle catabolic hormone that not only devour your muscles but also makes every litle kcal you eat turn into fat without ever reaching your muscles.
Steve..I take an anti-depressant. Either that, or my condition, or both inhibit my sleep. I either sleep sparatically, or not at all. As a result I will take ambien sleep aid a few times a week. Do sleep aids have any effect on the bodies workout recovery , or calorie expenditure during sleep, as far as you know?
Digesting food does take calories and eating often does prevent calories from being stored as fat in OUT OF SHAPE people but it’s still creating a consistent calorie deficit which is most important.
Correct me if im wrong, but isnt always having food in your body a good think due to always keeping your metabolizm high. if you eat at 6 oclock at dinner then wake up at 6 the next morning, thats 12 hours you havnt aten which causes your metabolism to go very slow?
but like i said please correct me if im wrong, but i think always having food in your belly keeps your metabolism high, which leads to weightloss.
I have to say, when u eat just before you go to sleep your not giving your body any chance to burn off those calories before they become stored fat.
If you stop eating after 6 like you said, then from the time you eat to when you go to bed (say 11pm) then thats 5 hours that your body could be burning calories better.
In those 5 hours your undoubtedly going to walk around your house(to and from rooms), stand around somewhere which burns calories
Thats strange im not saying your wrong because you probably know much more than i even will but i always thought if you sleep more you burn more calories in your sleep.
i got a question , i heard that taking creatine , and then drinking alchohal is really bad … something about alcohol dehydrates you and you need to drink alot of water (actually theres another , how much water should we drink on creatines) and is there are way to drink and take creatine without damaging your body (w/o counting the effect of alchohal alone.)

@MzGigglez910 The act of sleeping itself doesn’t burn calories BUT while you are sleeping your body (meaning all your cells) are still using calories.

@SpartanLife1821 It don’t matter how many hours of sleep someone gets, if someone is on steroids they going to look good.

No. LACK of sleep will hurt recovery. But SOME anti-depressants MAY cause strength loss depending on the individual.
