Take ZMA. Or valerian root. ZMA seems to make my sleep more restful, doesn't help with getting to sleep though.
Thanks for the tip. |

come on dude, thats the only set you're doing... you're gonna need more than 5-7 reps a workout to induce hypertrophy.... unless you were gonna do a "burn set" or a "widow maker" following that set. Just something you may wanna consider.

What matters is that you progress with reps and weight. Some of those exercises I was not sure how many I would get or I was tired but don't worry I am now going to work up to 15RP before I move on with weights. |

Being tall is both a blessing and a curse. 20 more lbs on that frame and you'd be a beast. Unless you like the "athletic" look |

usually its recommended to wait 8 weeks before measuring the results for good assessment. What is the duration prescribed for a DC training cycle? |
