I agree with whay everyone has said here. Great post right here. I'd like to chime in and say one aspect of the game that I believe is overlooked by many myself included for a long time is sleep. Uninterrupted sleep at night! There is nothing like it for growth. All the eating and training is for nothinges if my sleep isn't in order. That means I have to cut down on stimulants and stress that could keep.me awake.

Agree with everyone sleep is a big part to its a lifestyle. before I learned to really diet I had trouble breaking 200 then I learned to eat correctly and what foods my body responds to and I'm way past that now. It's all about learning your own body and how it reacts to food aas what works for me may not work for someone else. That is one thing that gets me is people that say if I took steroids I'd look like that too and I'm just like no that's from hard work and dedication .

I'm really glad to read Paramedicine's comment on the importance of sleep. For a long time this was the missing ingredient for me. I've been at this game for a while and I've come to understand that I need 3 things to make quality gains: 1) a workout regime that directly supports my goals, 2) sufficient QUALITY food to fuel my growth, and 3) at least 7 - 8 hours of uninterupted sleep each night (9 is best). This is the recipe for success for me in putting on and sustaining muscle. For you younger men just starting out, I have found that if I am on point in each of these areas, EVERYTHING in my life seems to be better ... work, home, my mood, concentration, energy level, etc.
This is a great topic, thanks for starting the thread jeffC.
