Guys, i need some opinion here.
I recently changed to the 5X5 workout from Rippetoe. For the last one month, i have been unable to go to the gym constantly due to work. I use to go 5-6 times a week but now it's 2-3 and that's if i'm lucky to leave work early. Therefore, i thought of going early in the morning to gym, perhaps 6+. I need to know if anyone has tried it before and how do you feel during work? Thanks. |

I guess if i go in the mornings i need to alter the program. And yes, I used to try it myself. Exercise at 8 am and then work 11 to 8.  |

QUOTE(Desvaro @ May 23 2010, 09:26 PM) If you're gonna go at 6, you better wake up at around 4. It is not safe to lift weights during the first 2 hours that you're awake, you'll hurt your back much more easily. Thanks for the insight. I did not know that.I'm too busy to find the source now, but it was mentioned by Charles Poliquin. Maybe try googling Charles Poliquin and keywords like lifting first thing in the morning. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with training early in the morning. Just make sure your diet is in check. |
