Title: Lack of recovery with food and sleep
Post by: D4 on November 16, 2012, 12:18:01 am
Okay this is most likely from my paranoia.

I've been continually doing my normal lower body training routine, and just this past sunday, PR'd my all time squat, 265x5 @ 157lbs.

I started my new job this Monday that has me waking up at 5:30 am everyday.  Before, when I wasn't working, I was waking up around noon and going to sleep really late.  Trying to adjust my sleeping schedule, and the stress of a new job, etc...  Mon, tues, wed, and today (thurs)  I have been severely lacking sleep and not eating normally.  Eating junk food mostly, and like 2 meals a day, and barely getting ~100g protein a day if I'm lucky. 

Today I had my usual league game, and I really had low explosiveness and was pretty slow.  Which lead me to this paranoid question to ask:

Is a shitty recovery routine (low protein + low calories + unhealthy + significantly less than normal amount of sleep) like I had since Sunday (my last lower body work) something that just SLOWS down recovery?  Or can it actually have a NEGATIVE effect? 

I'm probably being paranoid and just had an off day due to various reasons, and I'll prolly have a strong squat workout this coming up Sunday and if I adapt to my new sleep schedule, which will also allow me to eat better, I'll probably continue getting more athletic with my training.. BUT just have to ask to ease my paranoia.

Why do you think you are paranoic? Every single article that talks about recovery will have "good eat and sleep" somewhere in there. You give your body poor rest and poor nutrition , it will give you poor performance.

That wasn't my question, I know poor nutrition and sleep will give poor performance, but who cares lol.  That was just a panic post I made cuz my athleticism was at an all time low that game.  Let's just forget this.

it just gives slow recovery and even if you actually are fully recovered, sub-optimal performance.

that is to say then you can increase your lifts with shitty recovery every day. just slower.
