Need Help with sleep schedule

Good question! From my experience, consistency is the most important thing. Just keep showing up and results will come.

Solid advice. I would add that tracking progress makes a huge difference. I use a simple app to log every workout.

Had the same issue when I started. What helped was reducing weight and focusing on form for a few weeks. Quality over quantity.

Totally agree. Made the mistake of going too heavy too fast and hurt my shoulder. Take it slow and build a solid foundation.

Have you tried adding accessory work? Sometimes the main lift stalls because a supporting muscle is weak. For bench, try tricep work.

Switched to this about 3 months ago and numbers went up significantly. Highly recommend giving it at least 6 weeks.

Protein timing matters less than total daily intake. Just make sure you hit your numbers throughout the day.

Thank you segochung for your question, I'll try my best to assist you in solving this problem. I use to have this problem as well since I was a night owl, but that had to stop once I started working out intensively. The way I did it was that I forced to tire myself on that particular day to realign to the sleep schedule I wanted. Since I was tired, I can easily sleep on the desired sleep and wake up time. Try to relax your mind 30 minutes to 1 hour before bedtime to put your mind at ease and ready for bed, also avoid caffeine and blue light screens as well before bed as it really messes up with your circadian rhythm. The only hard part is the first 1-2 days of your body adjusting to the new circadian rhythm, but once you've gotten used to it, you won't have any trouble sleeping and waking up on time as per your schedule anymore. Remember the key is about mastering your circadian rhythm and habits. Stay safe and best of luck to your journey!

Sleep is absolutely crucial. Noticed a huge difference going from 6 to 8 hours. Recovery improved and lifts went up.

For meal prep, I cook in bulk on Sunday. Chicken thighs, rice, roasted veggies. Lasts until Thursday. Simple but effective.

Creatine is one of the most studied supplements. As long as you stay hydrated, perfectly safe. Kidney concerns are mostly myth for healthy people.
