Workout time: Morning or Afternoon?

[J-dub]

Right now Im working out from 9:00am-11:00am Mon-Wed-Fri I get up at 6:00am with my son and wife so I'm plenty awake by 9:00. This has been the perfect formula for me 2-3 hours after I wake up.

Morning. I get to the gym at 6am. I love it that way

I have always worked out in the early a.m hours.
I lift from 4:45 am to 6:00 am and at work by 6:30 am. I do this for many reasons but the biggest reason is it doesnt take time away from my family time that way the rest of the family is sleeping while im doing my thing and it never conflicts with any other plans for the day .

I train twice a day morning and night

I prefer the morning since it will b less people in the gym, sat and sun I go at 5am and I love it ! Take my time warmin up and liftin without interruptions . The other days for me r the evening and it's packed in my gym.

mornings! shit can happen during the day, so i find it best to train in the a.m. get your workout under your belt if you will.

I usually sleep late up, so afternoon for me.

My preference is sometime between 9am and 12:00 to lift. My gym is just down the road from a large university so if I get there after 4pm on a week night there's mores sausage than a Jimmy Dean factory in there. I hate it! Decent amount of eye candy too but at least 20-30 hang downs for every good looking chick. I'll take an empty gym with no good scenery over a crowd any day.

If I'm cutting, fasted cardio at home in the am... tire flips, drag sled or running the stairs in my house with a weighted vest on. Then lift mid morning to early afternoon. I have a family that I like and a job I have to go to, so 2 trips to the gym in one day... my priorities don't allow me to neglect my wife and kids enough to go twice a day.

But when you have no choice... sometimes I hit the gym early morning on the way home after working a 10-12hr night. I hate doing it. But sometimes it's the only option.
