Try and keep a bottle of water at your desk though or just jump out of whatever is keeping you busy and take a sip of water..... @ Jim: I really wouldn’t worry about it, not drinking and going thirsty for a couple of hours is supposed to amplify the release of growth Hormone so potentially it could help you grow muscle.

Very informational. I just wonder sometimes the next day after workouts I get held up at work and don't drink for 2-3 hours and start get dehydrated. Will this affect muscle repair and growth? Thanks, Jim Hey good read. Very informational.

I like to do one or two those a week and then 1 strength workout a week (like the one in this article) the rest of the time I just keep active and enjoy myself. I agree with you on changing things up, its the key; occasionally I will do some real volume work and other times do Ellington Darden style HIT workouts.

What do you think of the 15/8/4 "pyramid" sets of an exercise he suggests as opposed to 5x5? What about alactic sets he proposes as well? I personally do a mixture of all three just to shake things up and keep my body guessing. Any thoughts? jeff Hey Chris,

I have no problems nodding off, but I often wake up at odd hours wide awake unable to get back to sleep. I found that 200mg of Magnesium Citrate helps a load, as does just getting up and having a walk about for 5 minutes before returning to sleep..... @ Keith: Great comment i had suspected going for strength generates new fibers which would expalin how the biggest gains I have seen came on doing hypetrophy days and the odd strength day. @ Richard N: Glad to hear it got you going in a new direction I think its beneficial for anyone folowing EF to have to odd strength day in the gym without pushing up the intensity. Love your blog keep up the great posts!! @ Tom: Its funny I used to never buy into the sleep for muscle growth talk. I am now a firm believer though getting in those 8-9 hours really is important not only for growth but to repair the mind and feel good during the day!! @ DR: Thanks for stumble and Info, creating the new muscle fibers is what I'm after!! @ Methuselah: I used to suffer from waking up early and not getting back to sleep and still do to some extent.

When I do get good sleep I make good progress at the gym - increasing my weights whilst maintaining my form. However, getting good sleep regularly is a real struggle for me. I think this is one of the main reasons I often reach plateaus at the gym. I agree with Methuselah.
