You are an ectomorph. If you suffer from this curse, then you already know the all-too-real effects of it. If you do not, then you can never understand the curse. You are naturally rail-thin, and it seems no matter how hard you try, you are unable to shake it. Your clavicles are closer than those of your mesomorphic (naturally muscular) and endomorphic (naturally fat) counterparts in the gym. Your muscle bellies are small, and your metabolism is high. It’d be just as hard for you to get fat as it would for you to add muscle. When you bulk, that’s usually what happens – you get a little fatter and don’t seem to really add much muscle at all.

I’m sure there is someone who would find it ridiculous tat I would write an article to tell someone to go to sleep at night. Personally I need to read an article that will tell me to get out of bed more often, I love my sleep and I don’t condole anything that interrupts my time in the bedroom. Most of the bodybuilder’s who have problems with getting adequate time to rest are the ones who have a million responsibilities each day. You wake up early to make breakfast and prepare the kids for school and also pack for the some lunch or snacks. If you’re the lady then you know that your husband also needs to be taken care of in the morning. You then get prepared for the next 8 or 10 hours in your busy office.

Stress and poor diet/training/sleep patterns can lead to muscle catabolism, and it results in the bodybuilder-feeling run-down, losing muscle, and gaining fat. How can one escape this catabolic state? Here are a few tips in each of the four major areas (nutrition, supplementation, sleep, and training) for leaving the catabolic state, and entering the anabolic state.

Some of the most successful and influential people of our generation sleep very little. It would make sense that a person who only sleeps for 4 hours nightly would have much more time to succeed that his or her counterparts, who crash for 7 to 9 hours nightly. Those extra 3 to 5 hours are half a workday. Men like real estate legend Donald Trump and rap mogul and producer Puff Daddy are known for their extremely short sleeping cycles. Should you try it?
