An hour? Two? How long should a bodybuilder nap to optimize anabolism and minimize catabolism?
-
I would say about 15 minutes per inch of penile length.

Till you get woken up with a blowjay.

Half hour. Thanks.
-
Even a 15-20min nap can provide benefits, and refresh you.
I'll generally take as long of a nap as I can, around an hour if time permits. But I will end up feeling groggy if I do that, at least at times I do.
-
why do you ask such stupid questions on subjects that just don't fucking matter.
eat lift sleep enjoy what your doing and repeat
-
Until your mom calls you up from the basement for dinner (anabolic)?
-
I think i read somewhere that naps over 30 mins can actually leave you feeling kind of groggy as the body moves into a deeper state of sleep or something.

Even if she is making vegetarian spaghetti and garlic bread ie low protein?

An REM cycle takes about 90 minutes, I think it has something to do with that. I read somewhere that you're supposed to sleep in 90-minute intervals.

As chick would say if you think a nap is long enough it is ;D
-
Have been napping 5-20 min here and there for years. Very effective, and conveniant.

Until my boss wakes me up at my desk. :(

Exactly! Who the fuck takes naps? Maybe in france but people that make this damn country run dont. Pfft naps.....fucking pussys i swear.

How long is a piece of string?
Don't be scared to not put limitations on time.

I nap after lunch it recharges my batteries. Working, going to school and working out is really draining.

12 hours

I agree. In addition to my nightly 12 hour slumber to maximize muscular and cns recovery from my brutal training sessions and high calorie diet, I find that two 90 minute naps each day further accelerate the anabolic / anticatabolic processes. These muscle snoozes assist greatly with optimizing the body's secretions of gh and testosterone.
I should also add that during the night I get up at least once to drink a protein shake, and I'm thinking that perhaps even that is not enough, despite the fact that I have a shake with slower acting protein right before bed, and a fast acting whey / creatine / high GI carb shake first thing in the morning, about 30-60 minutes before breakfast.
I initially considered getting up every three hours during the night for a shake, but quickly dismissed that - it would start to interfere with sleep and recovery. So I'm in the early stages of developing a sort of portable time released iv device that would keep the body infused with the proper ratios of muscle building nutrients and hormones. Stay anabolic 24/7, and never have to worry about going catabolic again! Anyone want to get in on this with me? $ ;D
-
any more than 60 minutes should be considered full on "sleep".....
-
45-60 minutes usually werks for me
-
1 hour in 1 hour 15 mins.

It's actually not a dumb question. Napping is very anabolic and great to re-energize yourself.

I used to do that, but I didn't like interupting my sleep for protein intake, so now I just have my GF get up 3 am and pour a Nitrotech shake in my mouth as I sleep. Works great, although sometimes I choke on it and a few times we had to call an ambulance to rush me to the ER to save my life. Bodybuilding is serious business. :-\

people that are working after you've been tucked in for the night my friend.

I get up at 2:30am, do my work through the day, hit the gym, and by the time I'm home around 2pm I'm fried. If I don't get/take a nap, I'm falling asleep at 5-6pm.
Naps are actually more natural for the body, more natural than you trying to fit in at GetBig, hossie.

Hahahah, that's funny!

Its VERY hard for me to take naps, just never works, I have to be EXTREMELY exhausted and lacking sleep to nap - so rare!

I used to be the same way...then I turned 12.

Hell before 12 I could nap like there was no tomorrow, as I got older I just couldn't do it anymore!

Till your mom tells me your dads on his way home from work and I gotta go.
-
if I wake up after 1830 I'm fucked for falling asleep again at a reasonable hour

i advise you not to take any daytime naps, it will fuck up your biologic clock and the nightsleep in the long run.

Choking and being rushed to ER and nearly dying repeatedly has to be a very catabolic experience. Did she try a funnel?
I have a better way. I have seen the future to building the perfect body, and it is in 24 hour portable IVs - no need to stay stationary or have wires to trip you up. f you want to get in on this at the ground floor with me and make a killing in a couple of years on the IPO, e-mail me your personal bank account info to LOTTOWINNERSCAMMER@NIGERIANOILPRINCE.COM, and I'll put your investment dollars to great use.
