I've set PRs with nothing but coffee in my system
I switch up, but I always do abs in the morning or daytime. I'm actually bout to do legs and back right now. But that shyt is light so its not a big deal, tomorrow morning is vanity muscles.

I do both as I work earlies and lates. I find I have more energy in the mornings but I feel stronger if I lift later on with 4 meals down the hatchet. I like the mixture though.

Since I started intermittent fasting, the thought of lifting with food in my stomach has me like 
Now, I go in the gym on an empty stomach (around 2:00), crush the buildings, come out afterwards feeling like
and still not want to eat until later.

Always 2nd thing in the morning, fasted. I "warm up" by walking my dogs. I do only body weight exercises 6 days / week & cardio 3 days / week, if that makes a difference.
I follow it up with a smoothie. And I eat 4 more times throughout the day.
Never any problems.
But I only workout in the mornings because I used to skip too many evening workouts. Nothing I wanna do less after a workday than workout.

ideally u wanna workout as early as possible because u gain energy after each workout. I've done both routines. I work the mid shift (2-10pm) so i was conflicted on when i wanna do my workout. Should i do it prior to work and risk being tired going to work or should i wait until i get home and try to work out the best i can after a long day of work. I realized that its more beneficial for me to work out in the morning. I tried the late night work out and it messed up my sleep pattern which is huge for anybody trying to get into shape. I would start my work out at 11pm and be done by 12am and couldnt fall asleep due to being energized until 3am. I was on a shytty schedule. Now since i been working out in the mornings,i can go to work with energy and come home tired and fall asleep at a decent time and get my full nights of rest and wake up and rinse and repeat.
Of course if your lifestyle is too strict to do a morning or day time exercise then u have no choice but to do late night work outs. But if u have the option, do the mornings breh

part of it is from calories? breh, thats the whole reason why u arent lifting properly with the right amount of energy. If u feel like u have no energy in the morning,eat something light to spike your insulin. If im in no rush,ill have a small bowl of cereal,wait an hour then go at it. If i have limited time,ill eat a banana,wait 30-40 mins and then work out. Also,eat right after as well. fukk them recovery drinks. Make one of your daily meals right after a work out. Your body will thank u

Im on a 3-11:30pm shift, i dont even think i could do morning workouts if i tried at the moment, i do get energized after my workout at night but sleeping late at 3 never disrupted anything other than sleeping till 11-12 noon
I do alot of cardio at night even after working a job where i have to move around all day.. i ran 6 miles after a regular shift... my question is would i be burning more calories in the morning or late night.. or does it all equal out?
I have my best workouts fasted primarily because I feel light and more focused and if I`m taking a pre workout it hits harder. I`m doing IF now but I`m thinking about moving into One meal a day when I get leaner. As Blacks I think we should focus our nutrition and stuff off of those of Africans or even Native Americans than that of roided up White people.
either way
