AboutRick Karboviak Expertise ATTENTION: I will not be taking any more questions from kids, ages 17 & under, through this site. If any kid wants some help, their parent must ask the question.
Plese be specific, no more "I need to gain weight and get a 6-pack, pleeez help, thanx" types of questions. I will no longer reply to these.
I can help you with most questions regarding strength training for a wide variety of sports, primarily for the youth, high school, college, and recreational athlete levels. I can also assist with general fitness concerns.
I also will not respond to generic "I need to lose weight fast, please help' type of questions either. This is a waste of my time. You need a strategy, not a program alone, for this type of assistance.
Also, I DO NOT GIVE PROGRAMS through this service. Do not ask for any program, please, because chances are that I know nothing about you to even begin creating a program. As a professional, I need many pieces of information to even begin constructing something for my client, and this sometimes takes up to 45 minutes in a face-to-face visit. There's just no way I can do it in one email!
Thank you.

Past/Present clients Various athletes in North Dakota, Ohio & Minnesota, from youth to Division I college athletes.
Answer I really don't think there's any major benefit from it. This is one of those things that sound great if it works, but realistically, no one can really pull it off. Most of the stuff out there seems to sound great, but not be realistic in its implementations. So, I would put this question into that category, and say that a pre-workout nap really doesn't have a huge benefit to gain from it.
