Sleeping with my new found mass

[Behemoth1]

so in the last 6 months i'll go ahead and say i put on 20lbs of mostly muscle mass seeing as how my bodyfat is just around the 7%-9% area. Anyways, EVERY morning i wake up and i got that stinging/burning/prickiling sensation from my shoulders down to my wrist cause my body totally shuts off the circulation in my arms. yes i've tried sleeping different ways but that's just how i wake up. never had this problem when i was a narrower slimmer 165 haha. I personally can't fathom how someone like Markus Ruhl sleeps. Must sleep like a flippin two by four. anyways just thought i'd share. it sucks ass.

Ya, ill get that too when i wake up sometimes. If it really happens with such frequency i might consider getting it checked out, you might have a compressed nerve.

I used to wake up with my one leg numb a lot. unitll i got it deep tissue massaged for a couple weeks in a row. Might help, i know it did for me.

Probably a pinched nerve in the shoulder complex.

happens to me 4 out of 7 days. arm is all tingly waking up.
While youre laying on your back, just reach up toward the ceiling, turn your arm/wrist like youre turning a doorknob and it help alot more quickly. Or massage it and it helps.

My arms used to go numb a lot when I sleep on my side... so I bought a new bed. Plush for me all the way now...no more firm mattresses + no more problems

time to cut?

It is actually. In June I start my cut for my first bodybuilding competition in August. I don't have a ton of weight to lose since I'm already at 7 or so percent bodyfat
