What time do you guys find most comfortable to train time wise?

For me it has to be straight after work or late evening after i put my son to bed.

The reason i ask this is because the last week all 3 of my sessions were in the morning (due to having some time off work) and my workout sessions were just much poorer than normal, i felt like i had no energy and just generally couldn't be arsed with it.

Anybody else had a similar experience / got any tips?

Depends. I usually train 3-4 hours after I wake up, it's easier on recovery when most of your calories are put after the workout. Some people (like you) can't perform as good during the morning though, so it's a bit individual.

I work 3am until 11am right now. I generally go to the gym about 12:30pm, after I get home from work and showered

I usually work out around 8-9pm because I am exhausted before that and get random bursts of energy around that time. That way, I can't sleep until past midnight and wake up exhausted :good:

(Roughly)
Monday: After school 3PM - 5PM
Wednesday: Before School 9AM - 11AM
Friday: Before School 9AM - 11AM

& I find hitting iron in the morning superior.

Maybe you could use a little caffeine to kick start the day if you have a morning session planned?

Resistance training after school, three days a week.

Sanda practice is at 6pm two days a week.

I used to like working out in the afternoon, but now I do best right after breakfast.

I have to walk an hour to get to my gym unless I can bum a ride. Even if I take the bus it takes 30 minutes. Fucking sales pitches.
