Best time of the day to lift/workout?Morning,afternoon,or night?

[TYBG]

There's a study floating around saying mid morning and early afternoon are the best time to workout. I remember somebody posting it here.

I workout 5-6 in the morning to avoid crowds. It's starting to heat up and people are magically appearing

During the week cardio in the morning, lift at night.

On the weekend 10am lifts are

Church. That Cardio in the morning is like a jolt to the system. It' like drinking 3 cups of coffee to get you started. I've coming into work like

Right after work for me so 3:00pm.....morning workouts are only good for running for me.

Workout in the evenings after work. Dont like having to wake up extra early in the morning before going to work and then rush through things

I feel more energized in the evening. I've never been able to get used to the early morning workouts.

between 1pm and 5pm for me

I worked out this morning and it didn't feel right. Working out at night is the best for me, my energy is higher.

same here. Even if I go like 5 or 6PM thats still too early. I go around 12 midnite lol

If i dont start to lift between 3-5pm i dont even bother

i've read studies that say that the best time is late afternoon, early evening because of the body's cortisol levels being high as fukk in the morning and putting your body through the stress of weightlifting and/cardio early in the morning spikes those levels even higher but then again i've read another study that says that training in the morning is just as good for muscle growth as late afternoon/evening so it's like

as long as your sleep and nutrition game is on-point and you're not doing some crazy ass HITT and then doing like 500 reps in your routine on like 2 hours of sleep it doesn't really matter if you train at night or in the morning.

i myself prefer 6:00 pm or so due to my schedule and hating to wake up early but whatever works for you is best.

I love lifting in the morning and playing ball at night.

I used to struggle to lift in the AM, but I started waking up an extra 30-40 minutes earlier, eating a light breakfast and just chilling for a while before I had to leave....workouts felt MUCH better.

i wish i could lift in the morning but i gotta be to work at 7 am and im not tryna get up at 4:30 just to work out. plus my gym is like 30 mins in the opposite direction of my job

i hate working out with other people around. I'm contemplating a home gym​
