The concept of morning workouts helping you be ready for the day varies from person to person. I have never felt ready to “tackle the day” after a morning workout. The rest of my day is downhill. By noon I'm ready to go to bed. Mid-day is the sweet spot for me.
Same man
Same.
same, just workout whenever u feel like it
If I have a big protein shake with alot of carbs and I sip on it during my workout I noticed I feel good after and feel ready for day
Same.
“Most consistent members are the morning members”
As someone who worked in a gym for over 2 year, this is absolutely 100% spot on!
2years! I’m sorry
Right on, i've been having problems staying consistent, too full of excuses, so tomorrow I'm switching to morning crew, get it out the way.
I work at a gym and definitely can say that’s true
Yh I train at 4am and always see the same faces every time
True af😂
5AM to 6AM, every day except Sunday totally changed my proccess....never miss now, and my performance did take about 4-6 months to adapt...spot on
5:30am everyday my garage gym is open and I'm hitting the weights to the beats of reggaetón.
My guy that sounds like a recipe to absolutely kill a workout !
Sounds more solid than iron at absolute zero
Yes!
Exactly, except to old-school hip-hop/R&B!
Anuel aa/nengo/ Latin trap make my workouts go hard
when training in the morning, you need to pay more attention to warm-up because there is a greater chance of injury
right.
I'm a morning work out guy,its helps you to be sharper as he said,makes you more focus.
I can’t imagine working out at any other time of the day. It’s the equivalent to a morning cup of coffee for me. It completely rids my mind of any fog or grogginess. I feel accomplished and everything else in my day just rolls into all of that and it feels amazing.
You guys are so awesome! Such great, realistic advice! Keep up the great content.
Took me 4-5 months to get used to the mornings he was spot on, did it throughout 2021 and now Mornings are my main time and I’m more consistent than ever
Crazy how you guys always post what’s on my mind 🤯
Neuralink
I love my 5-6pm workouts because I'm better prepared, fully stretched throughout the day, stronger, and it gives me something I love to look forward to by the end of the day. I'm a student.
Get it done by morning then if you feel it you can go again in evening 2 workouts in the day
I feel like after work is perfect but my gym always so packed it annoying..so i just work out 4am its so hard though..
4:30am every morning for 5 years. It helps with mental clarity. Lately working out with my stress management more than anything
I work swing shifts,12+ hours so I work out when I can, I do get a least 3 to 4 sessions in every week, no matter what time of day it is...!#getithowyoulive
same, sometimes I dont workout cause I simple cant
Morning person!!!! I agree, it does help one stay consistent. I’m a young mom of two who works full time and goes to school so afternoons are a no go for me. I once tried working out in the night but I would end up so drained! It was horrible, had no consistency.
You hit spot on! With having child the only way for me to be consistent is in the mornings
I just found this channel, and I’m glad. I NEED to get back to exercising, and be more disciplined! If my bowling league doesn’t pan out, I’ll be going back to doing Ju Jutsi again.
the explanation i was looking for thanks....
As a Student who lives 3 mins from his 24/7 Gym… evening is dope. Can work out and go to bed straight away and recovery starts ASAP.
shouldn’t go straight to sleep after working out I think
As a professional athlete, in order to get the most out of my workouts I do resistance/weight training upon rising, and do my long runs at night.
I kind of feel like the time when you workout is all psychological.
Best fitness show ever . Y'all are the goats of fitness world !
Great video lads. I've been doing mornings now for the last few months after having a night shift. I do truck through it the best way I can and it does work for me. I might try evening in the future though at like say 7 o clock or something, get some food and a coffee And then go to work at 11. That would be less stress on the body I say.
I do my compound lifts in the morning, then do my accessories/isolation after work.
Consistency is king!
I will not sacrifice sleep for working out. So i do mine at home after work.... I am consistent so it works for me!
I work night shift, so I work out when I can. Usually first thing in the morning, but sometimes in the late evening
Spot on guy's spot on
I've missed maybe 10 workouts in my 7+ years of training. First 6ish years I lifted afternoon or at night. I've had to switch to morning lifting back in March and my bench has gone from 345 to 320 :( and squat 455 to 435. What I'm saying is avoid lifestyle changes that require morning lifting
I'm consistent and I go early afternoon between noon and 1 pm.
I love going at 1pm
Same
That would be great but some people work.
I work to. I'm a nurse and I work 3 12 he shifts a week so I go to the gym twice a week around that time.
That’s so true . I train around 9am and I see the same people there every day
I used to train at 6 AM, and my squat and bench press eventually adjusted, but deadlift was a non-starter at that time of day. I ended up doing those on Saturday afternoons, which is the best (for me). You can sleep in a little, get in a light lunch so you have energy for training and then have an awesome Saturday night because you know you did something meaningful with your day off.
The one benefit they do not talk about is the fact that you will build a certain kind of stubbornness, the discipline to do things when you dont feel like it. In corona times i split my training up, some easy cardio, slow technical practice for boxing, yoga in the morning, and the hard core stuff in the afternoon. I have the feeling i developed a habit for all the parts of my life , work, paperwork etc. to get the annoying stuff done when i need to, not when i feel like it. So i think exercising/practicing in the morning also builds your character a little bit
I agree with consistency. If it's better or you have time to in the morning then do that. I work night shifts with no set time off. Sleep fluctuates and there's other things to do as a responsible adult so being consistent with morning or first thing when I wake up workouts is pretty hard. So I save it for after work.
I think it depends on your energy expenditure throughout the day. If you train at night before sleep but you got low energy because of running around all day. Maybe it's best to go at a different time.
I think this all depends on a person’s schedule…I work overnight ..so in theory I’m strongest in the morning after I get off at 6am ..I do notice that my workouts are a little better in the morning vs at like 6 7 in the afternoon before I have to go in but the downside is that after I’m done I feel so good and energized that it’s hard to go home and sleep ..so I find myself not being able to fall asleep until till like 3 or 4 in the afternoon so when I do have to get up and get ready for work I’m groggy..I still haven’t found a balance..
I have a garage built gym with the works and a cardio corner. I tend to do faster cardio in the am then lift in the evening
I work night shift, I am starting to workout before going to work at night for an hour. My schedule is flip flopped than the average person, but i get my workout in everyday and my diet is on point, so it truly doesn't matter as long as you are consistent and get your workout in.
This is great content. Hormones and sleep… make me not so much a morning person… evening much more energy!
Couldn't agree more!
Yes. For me, it's this weird, self imposed boundary that I have. I don't feel like my day actually starts until the workout is complete. When I postpone it, I run the risk of not doing it at all.
I workout from 8 to 9 PM. I do IF ( intermittent fasting ) so I do fasted workouts ( take black coffee and 2 to 3 teaspoons of honey as pre workout ) , that way I can eat just after my workout which feels so good honestly.
My eating window is from 9 pm to 1 am.
And as we see in this video CONSISTENCY is the key.
The best to workout is the time you feel the best you can workout , in my opinion.
Do you work night shifts? 9pm to 1am might be the weirdest window I’ve heard of for IF
I workout in the morning, I have trouble with sleeping so I get up at around 05.00 before I start my day, if I leave it until the evening I am to stressed with work, tired after a long shift, and get to relaxed due to journey time getting home, I can’t workout during the day due to my job. I definitely feel better working out in the morning because I have always been a morning person historically, since 5/6yrs old I had to get up around 05.00am due to my family work life so through the years it became habit.
Just do both! 💪
It is a challenge to train in the morning, I get up at 3:330am shower eat, at the gym at 5am sharp then work, then head to second job for a few hours, in bed sometimes by 10 I know it’s rough, I been doing it for so many years!!
That's hard work kudos to you, sir.
That's not healthy, consider a lifestyle change. You're not getting nearly enough sleep.
Sal's Wrestlemania Shirt FTW!
I used to ask these ridiculous questions and over analyze everything. Just work out when you feel good. Stop over thinking it.
I would love to do an early AM gym sesh but my gym is too busy so I go around 10pm. Never wait for anything.
What is your best protocol for deloading on a strength program?
I spend about 20 to 30 minutes warming up before my 5:30 am workout. Never would have time to work out in the afternoon with work and family. 5:30 to 6:30 am workout. Breakfast, shower, work then home with the family.
Thats what I'm thinking now... kids are getting older and want daddy's time now which I don't wana compromise
I literally workout between 8-9 pm, I’m usually the only person in the gym, I can play my music and yell and scream motivate myself, best workouts ever. When I finish I might eat a snack just to give my body something to feed on
I’m in the morning workout camp. Prefer to workout late afternoon or early evening, but work/family schedule doesn’t allow me to workout after work
sick wrestlemania shirt! where did you get it?
Is the afternoon workout better because you would have eaten rather than doing it on an empty stomach? How long after eating is optimal? And after eating more carbs or does it matter what the macros of your meal were?
im working on shifts so one week i train morning one week afternoon and dont see any changes in performance i train at 10 am before that i have a breakfast at 7-8 am
I live in the Antarctic. When should I work out? Help me bro science
I get up at 3 am to go hit the gym 6 days a week. I tried after work, but I work 10 hour days and have to be at work at 6. I also live in a crazy populated area. So, the gym is horrible after work. So hitting the gym at 3:30am helps me get more done in less time, I feel a lot better because I get better sleep. I wind down for bed better. Because I sleep better, I eat better.
Overall, my strength has increased greatly because of going to the gym at 3:30am.
What about 2nd-3rd shift? I normally work 3p to 3a… I’m going to start my workouts soon but debating doing it before work or after work…
i went from late afternoon workouts to morning workouts because of this clip and (i get to the gym at around 0745) and my and will never go back to late afternoon workouts, i wake up at 0630, have a coffee, 2 banana's, a pre workout drink and im good to go, i still do a good workout and do what i need to do and i eat a better breakfast and eat better and more thoughout the day, it makes me feel great all day, and im sleeping better. My body didn't really need to adjust to the new time slot be honest it was good from the start. i found that i had a little less energy then what i had in the late afternoon, but its got better and i get on all the equipment as there's not many people n the gym.
Is this anecdotal vs research based regarding time of day, just curious. Respect u guys so much!
I’ve found multiple studies and it seems split on best time of day.
what are your goals, for me lifting 10% more is of little value to me, but hitting the office at 9am ready to go is a huge value to me so morning it is for me.
When should I workout if I work nights?
I like to workout about an hour or two after breakfast. I've been up long enough to have energy for a good workout and I have lunch and dinner to fuel my recovery.
Perfect!
I don’t get the same workout after sunrise. Something about 5 am is perfect for me. I’m stronger and happier.
So I work doing lawn care all day I train now when I get off work around 4 or 5 thinking about switching to mornings before work, feel like I can get a better work out if I lift before I spend all my energy working in the sun
Then I get home after work have pre workout and can't sleep is it better for me in the morning please help what does everyone else do
Hello, I am trying to go to the gym at 7, but im not sure what to eat before my work out. I wake up at 6.
After a morning workout I have an energy boost for the entire day.
As a beginner wanting to do morning work outs will it affect my muscle growth?
@@JackFlipsYa if you do proper work outs and caloriic intake at at least maintenance and proper rest period, you can only have positive outcome.
Regards
In the morning is better for me. I feel much better the rest of the day
I like to wake up early and get it out of the way right away in the morning before I take a shower. Then I have the rest of the day to do whatever I want.
Afternoon 5 till 7 the best for me
Nothing beats early morning before work
-Every one is there to workout and not socialize
-Gym is usually empty, easier to super set or never have to wait for equipment like you would have to if the gym is busy
After work you have a longer day and can get more done during the day.
I would have to get up a 3 in the morning to work out in the morning and go to sleep at no later than 8
I get lazy and sluggish during the day especially with food in my belly. I perform better first thing, drinking coffee for pre workout and workout out on an empty stomach.
If I work out all day as being a bricklayer pushing wheelbarrows cotton 3000 bricks a day shovelling 3 m of sand and get home and feel tired is it best for me to workout in the morning as I workout through the day please help I do go to the gym in half the moon but feel tired when I get home
I work out every other morning but when I do work out in the Afthernoon I am stronger when I work out at night ..the only bad thing I can’t sleep when I work out at night
Night time Workout 🏋️♂️
No comparison for me , morning 👊
5pm bang on for me
When I work out in the morning it uses glucose, for brainpower and I don’t have energy for entrepreneurship afterwards and I can’t find anybody online talking about this
I work 14 hours a day. I can only workout before dinner . Is it fine?
for me mid day is best but i work so morning is my only way cause at night i have no motivation
You'll sleep better working out in the morning, therefore repair quicker. Much better trade-off.
With wife and kids and work, it’s impossible for me to work out in the afternoon. 5:30am, I’m at the gym
If u train in early evenings, you’ll build more muscle period. There are no trade offs.
Because science
I find i perform better in the morning then any other time of the day, the key is going to bed early
3:30 is my morning I work night shift.
hate to beat on a dead horse but personally, I'm not a morning person. Training in the morning is my least favourite time to workout. But since being forced to wake up earlier to train in the morning because life, I haven't missed a single workout
I workout on 5 to 6 hours. I don't like working out in the afternoon or evenings . Mornings only
I get sick in the morning’s and it screws my whole day up
As an elite athlete. I'd say Afternoon.
For the every day person with real life shit.. do the morning
When I workout in the morning I feel like shit all day. lol
Same
Training in the evening shows that you’ll build more muscle. I think jeremy Either did a video on it.
Nah that's all bs. workout whenever you want man, just be consistent with it. Other factors don't suspersede consistency.
@@vanshsahni3461 watch the video man it’s a legit study. I agree the most important time to train is whenever you can. But evening training gets a little better results
@@jameshumphries5059 alright man, making adjustments here and there for the good would of course obtain slightly better results, but if you're compromising your current regime to follow something else, you're eventually losing out
@@vanshsahni3461 - I agree.
But he also said you often have to wait longer and adjust your workout because evening is the busiest time in the gym. Which effectively negates the benefits.
Ya like let me get up at 3 so I can workout then get ready for work at 7 then climb ladders all day. I don't talk for a job so anybody else like this stick to right after work best time
Today is day 2 of AM workout. So much weaker but I’ll adapt..I hope
Will i still gain muscle and everything by going in the morning?? i’m starting off tomorrow and trying to research a bit
Morning workouts are way less fun. Less pump, less strength. In the afternoon it actually feels good to workout. Maybe I’ll try eating before my morning workout like some fruit or honey and some salt
PM training has a much more detrimental affect on sleep on the PM side than AM training has on the AM side for me.
👍
I love 9-10pm workouts and Hot Tub/Steam room Session after. And the smoke some Marijuana after
Sooo.if your morning workout included some deadlift reppin at 405 or 20 rep squats with a total 35 set 2 hour session,you wont be doing podcasts or much of anything else that day ,besides eating and sleeping 4 hour naps in inthe morning and evening. If you are doing a circuit of abs and fluff n pump then,sure,you will be up for anything.
This will also depend on what you do for a living or work ! If you have a physically demanding job, early morning you will have more energy other wise you will be tired after work
Absolutely spot on
Afternoon-night sessions just kill me after work
Early morning is great to get it done and get through the rest of the day😁😁🤟🤟
I have to study entire day, what would be better for me?
@@MrAce-kx4dq well when i have had to study, if i work out early in the morning i seem to be to anxious or worked up to concentrate, soo im better off working out after studying, also work out will help release all that mental stress after long days of studying in my opinion
@@DB-mw1ys that happened with me, I used to do jogging, sprints, pull ups, dips in the morning, but then i tried to study, I felt so exhausted, I couldn't concentrate, I found my head falling continuously on the book, couldn't even keep my eyes open. Now I exercise in evening, destroy my body and just go to sleep. Works best for me
Fasted cardio or no?
Burn the food or burn the belly?
Sorry, I have no energy in the am. I need a Few hours and a few meals in me before I hit it hard. And I’m consistent. 2:30 pm
Sals right arm is Screaming ped use
I’m in bed at 10pm, jogging at 5am, in the gym at 6am, and I don’t eat anything till noon every week day. And I’ve seen a lot of positive changes
That’s probably incredible if you’re consistent
Being a trainer, when people asked me what the best time to workout is the answer is simple: whatever time works best for you and you can make it to the gym. If you can make it at 6 am 5 days a week then there you go. Be consistent
