All of us have at least one thing in common, whether we're hardgainers, slowgainers, A-shaped, T-shaped, train with free weights or machines: We wake up and go to sleep every day. Although we have some power over deciding when this occurs, our internal biological rhythms do most of the work.

You know how you feel when you get too little or even too much sleep, or how jet lag and time changes knock you out, so it's easy to see that biological rhythms are important for almost everything that makes a good athlete. Those with healthy circadian rhythms (24-hour Erg ` :::
