I'd like to get a rough idea when the ideal time is to train, I've always trained early in the morning around 6am but I've noticed that if I'm a few meals deep I can train harder and for longer without fatigue.
Whenever suits.
Have hit PB's on an "empty" stomach before, so I don't really believe in carb loading or anything like that.
I like training about 10ish when I've got the day to myself though.
I train at lunch times, coz it is convenient, I am consistent then, I have the time to train and I have had a couple of meals in before I train. OH and it doesn't impact spare time at home to spend with kids or whatever.
I do feel stronger after a few meals in me (so afternoon). However I do train in the morning on weekends. I used to feel much weaker in the morning, but with consistency isn't not that noticeable anymore.
I used to train regularly at 2:30/3 till 4am before I start dayshift at 5am.
Surprisingly the hardest part is getting out of bed, couple of warm ups and you're lifting heavy chit before you know it.
I get up at 420, I'm going I'm usually into my working sets by 5...
I'd like to train later, I'm more flexible later in the day, not as stiff, but this works well for not interfering with anything, and nothing ever interfering with it
I'm a morning person but I can only do cardio early. Can't lift a toothpick before 10am so I prefer later in the day.
I tend to work around my schedule on any given day, especially when in chocolate production mode so anything from late morning, mid afternoon or early evening - depending on when I have enough of a break.
Even though sometimes I just want to crash in the evenings, I usually feel heaps better if I just drag my sorry toosh off to training LOL
