Rest is the key to building muscle

Hey,

Before we get onto the main reason behind this post, there's one thing I need to say......

It's nearly that time.....Oh yes. At Midnight tonight, Vince's Award winning top selling program for building muscle goes on sale with a whole bunch of bonuses for 72 hours only. After the 72 hours are over the bonuses will be dropped and the price will be bumped upforever.

If you're not gaining the muscle you wanted, or you simply haven't got round to creating a diet or a workout regime, or if you don't know where to start, this program is a must.

Now....Let's get onto the main reason behind this post.

I got a question sent me the other day from a guy called Steve.His question was how can I improve my efforts further than I have already. He said he had a great diet and a top training regime and he was still struggling to gain weight and build muscle. Well, I asked him what sort of foods he was eating and how often he was training and it seemed to me he had a really great thing going and he should'nt be having any problems at all. We got talking and that's when I asked him what he did for a living. He was a night security guard at a well known retailer. Bottom line he wasn't getting enough sleep needed to build the muscle he wanted.

You don't build muscles while you're exercising but when you're resting, that's a fact, and has been proven by many researchers in the past. Rest, rest, and rest again that is the key, at least 8 hours a night is essential. While all the muscles rest protein synthesis takes place, and it is able to concentrate and work more effectively on the muscles that were used to perform the highest load in that days workout, therefore allowing more growth and better recovery.But the question is can muscle growth during the night be improved further? Yes it can, and I'm going to tell you how, why? Because I owe it to you.

If your muscles are not supplied with enought protein during the night they will start to consume themselves and much of your hard days work at the gym will have gone to waste. To stop this happening you need a protein called casein protein. Casein will slowly release amino acids into the blood stream as it is being digested, possibly over a full 7 hours. This slow release of amino acids can cause a very favourable anti-catabolic state (preventing muscle tissue from breaking down).Theoretically whey would be a better protein for muscle anabolism, however, arguably studies have shown that the fast influx of amino's from whey cause a high anabolic response very fast (muscle building) with no anti-catabolic properties and a high increase in oxidation rate creating a steady state metabolism and no overall increase in protein balance.

As a good basis for hypothesis combining both whey and casein in a sensible ratio would provide the positive benefits from both of these proteins. In all honesty many people are already doing this without actually realising. They mix 25 - 30g of good quality whey protein with about a glass to a pint of milk and have created a drink with an extra 8 - 16 g of slower acting casein. Where whey lacks the amino acid phenylalanine, casein is rich, and where casein lacks BCAA's, whey is rich, making a very good combination.Take this tip into account when your struggling to gain weight as it may well be that your not getting enough sleep either.

All the best,
