Power lifting can be a serious commitment. Some body lifters eat every 2 hours and even set an alarm for at night so they can wake up to eat wow I think that is so they do not release corticosterone in their body because that can negate their weight lifting session. Let me know if I am wrong laugh

You're pretty accurate on the eating every 2 hours or so to keep fuel in the system...about the waking up in the middle of the night,a good nights sleep after a workout is important to me,but I HAVE HEARD OF BODYBUILDERS waking up in the middle of the night to eat..it's nit uncommon.

I just wish that more people would become more knowledgeable about lifting though. I go to the gym and see these really big guys lifting weights but they have the wrong technique.

Power lifting..... never done it, although I used to push weights to keep fit...... that was enough, so power lifting must take so much dedication, I am not sure I am the one to do it..

Much admiration for the dedicated. cheers

Power lifting... I just love it. In fact I watch it all the time when shown on the box.

Actually I also eat every two hours and I don't think that I need an alarm clock to wake me up. I just sleep walk to the fridge and raid it on autopilot.

But seriously, you guys are brilliant so power to you all.
