Morning lifters ?

[the art of war]

I'm starting up some low impact cardio in the AM

Was curious how many of you guys train in the morning ? For me it's hard enough to make myself eat breakfast, i feel hella week so lifting would feel real foreign.

Please note this is not for you guys out there doin 2 a days for precontest etc - just for general routines. And if you lift in the AM how the hell do you get up for it and train as hard as say mid day ???

I have to commute 60 miles, so I get to the gym at 6 to avoid traffic. Takes me a week to get adjusted to the am schedule. Shake before I leave, preworkout drink when I get near gym.

I used to hit the gym at 3 to 3:30am, because I had to be rolling to work by no later than 5. I liked the quiet, but I hated not being totally warmed up. I couldn't lift heavy without feeling very awkward doing it. So I concentrated on circuits.

Anyway, I have a better mindset in the afternoon.

Ya auri, I feel like I barely get a pump - I'll wake up 2 hours before I'm out the door (between 5:30 - 8:30 depending on the day) - and get some oatmeal and whey down, some arginine in my whey and some CEE. I try for 48oz of water first 2 hours Im up - no pump. If I'm on cycle this is obv not a problem.

Turbo - I'll try it for longer than a few days, see what happens. thx for input fellas.

I can do cardio in the morning but that's it. I used to go before work, but I was still always weaker than if I went in the afternoon/evening. The quiet is so nice, though!

I've been going before work recently and I have no problem lifting the weight. Just do a pre-workout drink on the way to the gym.

It's usually me, thIs 70 year old man (who's strong as hell!!) and about 10 hot chicks in there!

The energy I have during the day is way up and it feels good having the workout out of the way.

Women are in your gym trying to recruit parent volunteers for elementary school? Strange.
