Everyone knows how important sleep is but there are other variables just as important and more important.
Has anyone felt like there have been times when they made great progress adding size, strength, cutting, recomp, when sleep was really poor?
I know I have. I assume most have when cutting and in prep or growing into a show. It leads me to ask is sleep possibly overrated when it comes to performance and hypertrophy if we are maximizing all other factors (diet, gear, training)?
Some will say you can't train hard when getting poor sleep but this hasn't been my experience. Training may suffer if getting no sleep but I've went through stretches getting 4-5 hours and getting stronger each week.
