rest period, (is it still muscle growth)

[Sparkeyy]

When you say rest is key to building muscle which is true, Is the rest period where muscle is being built when your sleeping or dose growth happen to muscle by just resting for example lying on your bed watching a film. Just interested any knowledge given on this matter will be much appreciated.

Pretty sure muscle fibers repair itself throughout the day as long as the muscle isn't strained or put under tension.


But sleep offers the muscles an optimal growth period with no disturbances

break down muscle fibres when u train

re-build after you train + eat

simple as stimulate + response - DOMS kicks in 24-48 hrs after and can last anything upto and past 72 hours

protein synthesis (repairing + building of muscle tissue) and DOMS (pain in the muscles after working) ARNT related

EDIT: protein synthesis peaks at 24hrs
