How much sleep should I be getting to recover your body’?(I basketball train 3x a day, and weight lift 5x a week)

Question

My traing sessions are 1.5 hours each. My weight lifting last 1-1.5 hours. I eat 3 meals a day, and my current sleeping schedule is sleeping 10:00pm-5:00am. Can I be damaging my body in anyway? What should my macros look like? I weigh 160 pounds, 5 foot 7. What’s your best way to recover? Any body have relevant methods or tips?

sincerly your boy that needs advice

Answer 1

Honestly I would say that that is definitely too much training and not enough sleep for that amount of training. Your body needs time to recover.

Secondly, If you are “really” practicing three times a day then you should be in no shape to do that and lift weights five times a week. Specific, task oriented practices, designed to target different skills twice a day for 60-90 minutes is sufficient. If you just shoot-around other times, that’s okay, but don’t call it “practice”.

Weights three times a week (again targeted) will get you where you want to be

Answer 2

I agree with coach Lauritz. You need more sleep. Also if you keep in mind your weight which is at a good place in my opinion. I see no point in the weight lifting. I would recommend Yoga and basketball. You'll be surprised how helpful it is but also how much more recovery you'll have. Also taking a nap might be all your need.

I'd say cut some of the workouts and sleep more or drop weight lifting for yoga if basketball is your goal.

Because the time you put in basketball should make you be able to recover by 5 am, the issue is you weight lift as well.you probably go to work or school since you get up at 5 so its probably not Changeable. Sleep more if you can't drop weight lifting or do yoga and basketball. Good luck buddy.
