Your thoughts on a midnight protien shake.

[psychedout]

I know this should be in the diet board, but more people will respond here.

Anyways. Do any of you wake up during the middle of the night to consumer a protien shake?? If you do, how much do you consume?? Do you feel it makes a significant difference?? I was considering doing it to help boost gains while bulking. I also feel that going 8 hours without feeding the body nutrients is quite lengthy. Maybe the disruption of waking up will be too much (doubt it, but you never know), but I guess we'll find out. So what are your guys thoughts on this?

i think your nuts


but seriously tho - in theory its great, but i cant haul my ass out of bed to start mixing a shake in the middle of the night!!

but more power to you if you can do it bro

well my body is weird, usually i goto bed at like 2 am, 3 am, wake up at 6am (for some reason) then I get some protein there... then I wake up at 10-11 am and eat breakfast.
I never fail not to wake up in those time ranges.

--- haha why don't you try getting an intraveinus machine .. just hook that baby up while you're sleeping

When I wake up in the middle of the night to take a piss, which usually happens every night, I have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom so sometimes I will stop and mix one up real quick.

I wouldn't set my alarm clock for it but I would have one in the fridge in case I wake up to piss. Or get some rtd's. - cbeaks

some nights though I dont make it to the bathroom and end up pissing all over the floor, when that happens I dont make it through the kitchen and no protein shake.

lick it up off the floor to make sure that you aren't losing any of that protein in your piss. - cbeaks

I believe in theory that if you are in the process of bulking it can do nothing but add to your gains. I have always woken up to drink a shake at night.. I usually pre-mix before I head to bed that way I can just shake it up, jug, and hit the pillow again! Seen it work wonders for me, I am still natural however but I assume if you use AS it will significantly increase your gains due to the protein synthesis!

Hell give it a whirl, won't hurt. Good Luck Bro

For bulking it's a great idea...just b4 bedtime

 

[babbabuee]

I've mastered eating in my sleep. i don't even wake up, I just go to the kitchen and pull out a premade sandwich and a shake with my eyes closed the whole way.

Thats funny cause I remember someone on this board (can't remember who) had a sleep walking problem. They would sleep walk and binge out hardcore. He would wake up and find 5 bags of chips eatin, or a box of protien bars chowed down. I think he said now he either locks himself in his room, or locks the food up. Either way it was pretty funny.

re

yeah, its a good idea to have a shake before you go to sleep at night, prefferebly a slow digesting whey with some milk added. if your bulking the extra calories will only help you brotha. 8 hours is a lot of time and will starve your mucsle if you've been training hard like most of us on this board. sometimes i eat fattening hamberbuger meat without any kind of carbs and does wonders for my gains. try this for a week and see how you feel. lata

When I´m bulking or when I´m recovering post cycle, I leave a shake bottle with Whey/milk next to the bed. Anytime I wake up at night, I´ll shake it a little, open and drink it. I think it works just fine.

Just before bed, and in the middle of the night.

 

[THE_BIG_FED]

42-60 grams of metrx slow release protein before bed w/ 1 tbsp flax........then when i wake up to piss middle of the night i got a premixed scoop (20 grams) of whey waiting for me in the bathroom by the sink. just piss, gulp, then back to bed. only 80 calories so its good for cutting or bulking.
