Is there more benefits to working out in the morning over night and vice versa ? Also what do YOU do and why has it worked out.

Working out in the morning feels better for me, but I still workout at night because I'm a lazy piece of shit
i go to the gym at 4am because i don't like talking to strangers and the only other people at the gym are other super motivated loners who make me feel like i'm part of some secret club of people who actually give a shit.
Used to go to the gym during night time last winter, a few times I went really late and was done by 4am. Most people coming at the time were old people (like really old not boomer) it might have something to do with the fact that it was a commercial gym
Your test is higher in the morning and slowly dips down throughout the day. Morning is GOAT
your protein synthesis peaks and drops before you get to bed where the most important recovery is done. night is best
So? You don't instantly recover after a workout anyway it takes time.
literally the opposite. test is lowest and cortisol is highest in the morning.
You are just wrong, why would you post something so wrong
No, test is higher in the afternoon.
I lift in the morning anyway because that's when I can use a coffee high. Also I can lift with an empty stomach & bowel (latter thanks to coffee). You cannot defeat this meta.
OP here , do you think your goal I guess would play a factor as well ? Like Ive seen people go in the morning more for weight loss and for gaining muscle evening just because you have a bunch of food already by the time you lift.
If your goal is either morning is best because of highest test. Having abunch of food in you doesn't benefit your lifting I wouldn't think. It's mostly a factor of how hydrated you are at that point. Just wake up, spend the first hour and a half drinking a shake, taking vitamins right away, and stretching, then go lift or run.
It's full in the morning, it's full late nigh
I have no option.
i find the gym is less busy at midday because all the normies are at work/school
Pretty much. Everyone motivated goes before 8, highschoolers get out at 2, then the boomers shit it up from 5 till 10. Midday is peak ghost town
>then the boomers shit it up from 5 till 10.
speaking of boomers, why do they stare so much? and why do deadlifts intimidate them so much?
>why do deadlifts intimidate them so much?
They have bad backs
What’s considered “early morning”?
>3am-10am
What’s considered late night?
>9pm 3am
5am master race checking in
Is that dog food?
I'm 5am club as well, just jumped up an hour from 6am this month. It's hard so far but gives me enough time to get everything in and shower before 7am meeting for work
>tfw need to be at work for 6am and don't get home til 5pm
my options are extremely limited during the week
I'm 7am to 6pm so I'm in the same boat brother
Thanks for the repsponses bras. Im thinking of going in the AM for now to get in better shape.Losing fat and preserving muscle is my main goal right now.Ive gone from 273 to 228 as of friday.
oh man i hope you've been lifting since day 1, i made the mistake of not lifting for like 90% of my weightloss journey and i just ended up skinnyfat.
Yeah when I started I just walked and ate alot less which led to massive weight loss but yeah I looked like sick weight loss. I do want to say I have experience lifting but its sadly been since 2013.
i go at 1pm its literally empty, alll the normies go at 6/7 pm
I go to the gym early in the morning before going to work because i feel more energized to workout and after the workout and there arent so many normies around, so the gym is half empty. Also a big part of it is that i avoid traffic jams because my gym located near the city and its past the usual and worst traffic jam. Frick kids and helicopter parents, just shove them in a bus to hell.
it takes time for breakfast to digest and provide stored energy. plus night is more reliable because if you feel like shit in the morning you can pop some tylonel and drink a cup of coffee before going to the gym and feel great.
morning is the best for cardio though
>that guy lifting at 2:00 am
the guy wearing a black hoodie staring at the dumbbells in complete silence at 3 am no headphones on
Gyms are ghost towns midday unless you live near a college campus or in some mass unemployment Black personville
holy trips confirm
in some cities some gyms are basically always open I guess so they might be empty very early and very late, but mine does 9-21 so noon is the only time when I can find it empty. I also have a two hours lunch break so it's a perfect fit
Don't know and don't care. I barely have enough time to lift at all so as long as I can get a workout in at some time, I'm happy. I've pulled up to the gym at 5am and 10pm and the only thing that changes is the amount of people in the gym and the amount of caffeine you need to wake up.
But all the wagies are in their cagies midday. I agree with the general sentiment of the image though; I don't even bother trying to go lift between 3PM-8PM.
>But all the wagies are in their cagies midday
most normal office workers put in a quick sesh during lunch and then eat at their desk while answering emails
I go to the gym at peak hours to stare at women in between sets.
> tfw gym is full at 6 am
late night is gymcel hour, nothing better than pumping iron on a friday or saturday night when everyone else is out boozing and having sex, you combine the manic euphoria of late night activity with the relaxation of it being the end of the work week where you get to sleep in the next day, nothing beats it
but then you have to deal with drunks on the drive home.
Unless you have a home gym, no.

Thank you anon for once again reminding me that German women are absolutely fricking ugly.
Kys israelite
time to coom yet again
Eh? my gym is packed at 6am. I've been going at 6 recently and regret it. 1-3pm and its fricking dead. Though you have to drive to my gym and most people have jobs where i live, and im self employed so pick my own hours
I usually go at 3:30pm. Most wagies are in their cagies
Love mornings but would love to do some late night sessions, like midnight and shit on weekends. Sadly the college gym is only open till 10:30 on weekdays and like 6 on Fri and Sat.
I go to the gym at 1pm because it's usually dead from 1-4pm
Gym isnt packed with socializing extraverts in the morning. Only reason why I am up right now is that I will have access to a fricking bench without a bunch of smelly kids hanging out instead of putting in actual work.
its easier to sleep at night if u take preworkout in the morning
early morning is objectively the best
Workout is done in peace and you have the rest of the day to do whatever else
The 5 AM crowd is all the lifers who are on autopilot and do this daily. Sometimes they talk, but it's also 5 AM so they're still in zombie mode.
The noon crowd is all the killers who's entire life is staying in shape. They don't talk, it's just business.
The 530-630 crowd is all the depressed Gen Xers who are wage slaves and have no personality.
The 630-after crowd is all the people who are new to the gym / want to chit chat.
>mid-day
>full gym
non white country i guess
The gym I go to is packed at night between 7 - 10pm, but never crowded the rest of the day. For whatever reason this is the time all the blacks and broccoli heads go to hang out. Nights is fine for cardio or specialty machines but forget trying to get a bench or squat rack when there's 6 - 10 zoomers all rotating the same exercise for an hour.
I’m stuck lifting with Zoomers in the early afternoon because there’s no way I’m going at 4am with the schizoids and roidtroons
Really early in the morning is the only time I've ever been able to stick to lifting. Later in the day there is way too much risk that I'll be tired and not feel like it and start skipping days, but I always have energy when I wake up
Gyms here are packed starting at 10am into the late evening. Too many NEETS and students working out in the middle of the day
5am to 7am is a ghost town
are you fricking moronic or live somewhere where people don't have jobs? gym doesn't have any people at all during mid day, and has a shit ton of people during morning and even more during evening.
All I know is that people who train before work either have desk jobs, or they aren’t training hard enough.
It would be functionally impossible for me to train before work, and still be able to keep up with the rest of the crew.
literally the best lifts I've ever had were on Valentine's day eve
I feel like if the gym near me didn't close at 10pm I would be a late night gym goer. For now I'm an 11am-1pm gym goer
My gym is a monkey bar at my local childrens playground at 5 am
Your natural body temperature peaks in the mid-day. It is the optimal time to train in general, though if you want to be precise you could measure your actual body temperature and figure out the exact minute at which you should be doing your top set..
