Trying to talk myself into getting up at 4:45 and heading to the gym... But I know evening training is better.
But, I think that might only apply to natural people.

Would love some opinions or anecdotal evidence that you can get big working out fifteen minutes after you get out of bed (roughly).

Tuesday-Friday the wife and I wake up at 4am, in gym by 5am, train for an hour and a few. Saturdays & Mondays we train at 9am...I will not train at prime time, too much bullshit at that time.

Safe to say you're a big guy? Don't know your stats and haven't seen photos. I know people train in the a.m... Just want to find out if people have gotten "hyuuge" doing so.

Nah...I am 5'2", 155lbs wet, and been training 6 months...you are a funny guy!!! Morning time is when natural test levels are highest and it has been proven that morning workouts are pretty damn effective. Honestly, it is what you put into your workout which will yield your gains...that and your nutrition of course.

Don't have that much advice on this one... I'm not a morning person AT ALL. Years ago in the prime of my training, the wife and I did the early morning training and it just about wiped me out for the rest of the day. Lost motivation and the "fun" of a good heavy workout, so we changed back to strictly late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. :p

I'm not a morning person. Never have been. Unless its for sex, shooting, fishing in that order....fuck off!
That said my pseudo wife works out at 5 am cause she works 70 hrs a week in addition to working out 5-6 days a week.
She's in insane shape! I'm helping her with a few things. She's doing a masters show soon!
They say guys test is higher in am.
I say it's all bullshit. Work out what fits u and your schedule best! Even starring out the pseudo wife's epic Latina ass won't get me out of bed before 5 am......maybe if she let me play with her ass I would lol.

Ugh.
We'll MA is a good motivator I guess; pretty much everything I've ever read says cortisol sucks in the a.m. and so does your strength. I was hoping that shit only applied to natty's.

MA, any pictures on the forum of your physique? I've seen tons who are "willing" to do morning workouts but they all look like crap, sadly. Not a good sign.

And MA, why would you/I care about morning T levels? Doesn't us not being natural make that sort of a moot point? Just asking.

I think the key to working out right after you wake up is to make sure you get some food in you before you go to the gym. I'm not sure about natural daily hormonal patterns throughout the day but a little tne at 6 before I smash legs helps me doing anything! I like working out early because I have the rest of the day to eat, rest, and grow.

Hitting gym now after I drop off my little angel at school with the wifey, like IG said, blah...blah...what works for you, blah...blah...sex, blah...blah...pseudo girlfriends ass playing, blah...blah...you get the picture :). Cortisol can be controlled by pre & post workout carbs and protein consumption, vitamin C, and BCAA's during training...just do what you feel is best for you.

I don't think the time of day matters much bro. Maybe if u are beat down after work then yes your workout wouldn't be as productive as fresh before work.

I've yet to hear mr Olympia say my claim to fame is AM training lol.

Train what fits your schedule.

My most jacked friend trains whenever he can. He also doesn't take protein shakes. he big and ripped. Strong as fuck too!

U have mor cals and nutrients into you later in the day.
That said I have some of my best workouts on the weekends when I'm fresh vs all day at work.

At the end of the day doesn't fucking matter a rats ass bit of difference. Train for when your schedules allow. None of us are fighting Kai and Phil for top 3 mr O placement this yr I think we are all good lol. Train when u can and prefer end of story.

what you never watched any of the Battle of Olympia's videos... there are guy working out around the clock ...
there is a theory that Test Peaks in the AM and there fore first thing is best ... but IMHO it is when you are awake enough to do it right
which is different for everyone ..
I have met die hard's in the morning . after noon and later night ..
I remember going to the 24/7 gold's and asking the counter if they were busy at 2 AM , he said that place is actually very busy at 2 AM after the bars close the bouncers show up to get a work out before crashing,and since they were the only gym at that time it was fairly packed... then the postal employees before work he said ( big postal center down the street from there)

My gym is 24 hours week days and according to the guy at the desk it is in spurts ... but I have been there at 6 AM and had to wait for a bench or machine .

I HAVE to train late afternoon/early evening. My muscles are all nice and warmed-up from work, the cobwebs are all shook-out, and I have more energy & strength. Only time I train in the morning is on the weekends; and it has to be around 9-10 am. Any earlier than that then I'm a total zombie. But, I have to say what ever works for you. If you see gains working out in the morning... then go for it.

after selling the company he moved to the Philippines and spent his time deflowering virgins ...apparently it is OK to bid on that over there
fathered hundreds of illegitimate kids ... and they are all suing for part of his fortune ...
I love these stories of billionaires that are completely paranoid and because they are ass holes , no one to leave the fortune to,nor anyone they can trust.. .....what did your billions get you buddy and unhappy life

Lately I have been training at 5am which i seem to love, especially while i am dieting. The first meal of my day is always about 50g of white hominy grits and 11 egg whites regardless of whether it is my high carb day, moderate carb day or low carb day, so my energy levels are are at their highest after a good nights rest and a big breakfast around 4am. As the day drags on i can become more lethargic and mentally fried, so its best for me to get the workout done in the morning. Plus theres nobody in my gym at that hour so i get it all to myself. Not to mention, theres something about driving to the gym early in the morning when its still dark outside and pulling into the parking lot when there are no other cars there... makes me focused for whatever reason.

I'm at my best when I train late afternoon/early evening. I try to hit that "small window of opportunity"... that time where the afternoon workout-wannabe's are leaving and I have about an hour before the "I'm going to go and workout after work" crowd hits. It seems to be the sweet spot time slot. lol! And.. I'm like the rest of you, I like to keep my head down and not talk to anyone. I take training very serious... it's ME TIME! It's like a second job to me. Block out all the bullshit, stay focused, and train insane!

you may not know German but you can figure out what is going on ,
the bald one with 2 earrings reminds me of my buddy from the gym... he is a dead ringer for him

anyhow ,looks like a nice hotel... but if you are going around the globe ,..you got to stay for at least 2 weeks or have a pit stop for a couple days IMHO
