When did you realise the morning gym meme was real? >Used

I feel that little bit more tired after going to the gym in the morning, and therefore my work performance begins to suffer in the last couple hours.

Whereas if I go after work I can put my 100% into it everytime because I know I'm going straight to bed afterwards

I always work out first thing in the morning after breakfast. Helps me wake up and you don't have to take an extra shower for workout sweatiness.

>>39135627
Yea I lift.

I don't fuck about lad. Not bringing your phone into the gym is key.

>>39135927

Neither do I. Who the fuck uses his phone when he wants to lift in a serious way? Only 15 yo do this

>>39135479
Ahh. Welcome to the occult brother. There is nothing better than getting your primal instinct firing first thing in the morning.

Personally I wake at 4am because I just don't have time to be distracted by other people. Start my first set by 5am. Listen to some Pantera and Death grips... by the time I arrive at classes the riffs and verses are still running through my mind full volume and I have to resist knocking people down like bowlin pins.

>>39135935
>>39135927
I use mine to track sets and listen to music. And it's in my pocket, I'm usually wringing my hands on a towel because my shitty gym doesn't allow chalk.

>>39135946
>>39135935
I get in and get my shit done.

I see people standing around texting people or scrolling through their music to see what to listen to next. Theres a couple of sofas and there always seems to be this one guy In a wife beater using his phone.

These are all grown adults.

GTF of the equipments faggots.

>>39135938
Thank you brother. I feel enlightened already

Yeah, I love going in the mornings. I usually go around 5:30 and come back around 7. Very few people are there and it's such a great way to start the day. It also can improve your sleep schedule if you have trouble with that.

>>39136305
I'm not that pro. I'm used to go to the gym three times a week and I started I see change. This of course included an improved diet of basically eating more, and more protein, and protein shake every day and after gym.

The gym part I didn't like. But it was comfy this morning and it feels nice that I can just go home after work.

Has anyway got tips to increase leg muscles around knee and below?

I'm fucking skinny and the bones stick out

>>39136138

The sleep schedule one is good, I started going in the morning and I'm in bed before 10am and asleep before 10:30. Up at 5:45 and gym by 7:30, work then at 9am. I miss all the morning traffic, I'm never late to work too.

Morning is the shit, so much quieter.. equipment free for whenever I want to use it, quieter music.. much better.

going to the gym and lifting can be a form of meditation as long as you don't distract yourself.

if you are using you phone at the gym, you are probably distracting yourself. I assume people using their phones at the gym fall into the group of /fit/izens which complain that they didn't reach 1/2/3/4 in a year because they slack-off, have bad training habits, and constantly distract themselves.

>>39136305
Why would anyone do this. Are you Japanese

>>39135479
I've been doing morning gym for a year now, and feel better than I ever did going after work. There's a core group that is there in the morning and we all know each other, we've somehow nonverbally worked out a system of using equipment so no one has to work in.

Shits great, yo

When my son was born. I knew he would be waking me up early any ways so i would go after my gf and i fed him around 430am or 5am.
The first month felt fucken awesome. My gains were showing and i was actually becoming happy, something i havent been in about 1 year and a half.
Me and my gf start fighting a lot and eventually stop going. Now i go about once or twice a week and the other days i sleep in feeling like shit cause i can't wake up early anymore.

>>39135597
This. Also how do people live the 9-5 job thing? It entirely kills the whole day. The 6-2 is much better.

Morning gym is the best because it's a great way to get shit done as you're waking up and building energy, as opposed to losing it during the evening. Plus, it feels nice to get it out of the way and feel charged for the day.

You also get to walk around a little pumped the rest of the day.

Don't you feel tired for the whole day if you workout in the morning?

>>39135938
You sound like a total faggot

I am self employed and set my own hours, so I always end up fucking up my schedule and sleeping at 4AM. Then I wake up at like noon, work until 7PM, then gym around 10PM. I used to gym at 5AM (and go to bed at 9AM), but the morning crowd at my gym sucks. It's actually better at night.

>>39139365
Hahaha, no.

>>39139373
>he doesn't train hard

We've all been there. You'll learn the difference one day.

I usually try to go between 10-2, or 8 and beyond. Those are the prime times in my gym on the weekdays, where you dont have to wait for a squat rack. My rule of thumb, though, is any time is good as long as I don't eat 4 hours beforehand, 6 if it's leg day. Not tryna shit my pants

>>39135479

I mean anytime a beginner can get in the gym is a good time buddy.

>>39135479
I am a fan of both. For my four years in prison, 6:30am was my workout time and it was the absolute best way to start the day. I'd lift and do cardio 5 days a week. Been home since '09 and switched to the after work workout. It used to suck because I was a member of 24hr fitness and fuck that place, from 5-9pm it is the absolute biggest shit show ever. Now, I'm the GM of an extremely upscale boutique gym and also do personal training so I get off at five and literally just go right into working out. Makes things very convenient, plus I'm usually done steaming and showering just as rush hour ends. Feels good man.

>>39135479
I started going in the mornings too, I love it so far. Just bring food to make sure I get energy back right away. Also working out in the evenings I'd always skip Fridays because someone would make plans with me.

Why do I not do this every day?

>>39135935
Nice assumption. I use my phone in the gym and I'm a 29 year old dad. I use it to track my routine, time my rest periods, and kill time while resting. It's more efficient than using a notebook and stop watch.

I wake up at 4 AM, get to the gym by 4:30, get home by 6:15-6:30, shower, make breakfast for the family, and start the day by 8. I love working out while the sun rises. No better start to the day.

>>39135927
nigga it doesn't matter if I bring my phone, if you lift even remotely heavy weight you'll need to rest for a good while between sets. it takes me well over 50 minutes just to squat and bench

KEK, all you wagecucks. I go to the gym whenever I want.

Wagies BTFO'd again.

It does totally suck. I'm 9-5m and the way I do it is go to sleep by 6PM. I usually wake up anywhere from midnight-2AM, putz around the house, go to the gym, read, do chores, cook, shop (I've got a 24 hour grocery store near by).

I much preferred the 1500-2300 schedule I worked during college, but 9-5's pay better desu.

Tried working out first thing in the morning today, was a nightmare, I had a pre-run pasta and did a 5 mile run at 9am, followed by a protein shake and 3 chicken fillets before gym at about 12:30, come out the gym at 2pm already on about 1600kcal of my 2200 allowance :'(

I'd really like to, but my wife and I both share the car and go to the gym together. Our gym is a 20 minute drive and doesn't have a shower, and she works very early. We'd have to be awake at like 3am. Shits a pain in the ass, senpai.

I work as a discretionary trader. European markets open at 07:00 and the US equities close at 21:00 so that's why I'm in so long. The company don't care how long you work once you are making money. I find I am quite profitable at those times so I am happy to be in (we get paid based on a percentage of what we make).

Also, although it is a very long day, there is a a fair bit of time when it is slow — for example at 11:00 when I go to the gym. Also a fair amount of time spent shitposting or playing g the Xbox in the lounge.

The majority of the prop trading firms will take someone from any background, but what they are looking for is someone who 1) aims to achieve, 2) is able to be highly self-critical, 3) who is not afraid to take, but manage, risks under pressure and 4) someone who has good quantitative skills.

So I had a strong academic background in theoretical physics which ticked off number 1 and 4 and got me an interview.

In my interview they were trying to find out about the other two things so when they asked what I did outside of academic life I said I like to go to the gym and lift. I told them that I would always record and document my progress, watch videos on form and always try to improve... they loved that because it ticked number 2.

Finally they wanted to see how I dealt with risk and pressure so they would ask me about poker hands, which hand is better etc. When I was slow to respond they start shouting come on, hurry up, we want an answer. They also asked me to multiply large numbers together in my head and again pit you under pressure while they ask. All they want to see is that you can do that sort of thing while under pressure.

Getting the interview is all about showing some of the above points in your CV. Also, don't be afraid to beg for an interview... they love when people want something and don't give up. The interviews are super, super tough but if you know what they are looking for and why they are doing what they do it all makes sense and makes it easier.

There are people from every background on our trading floor but the most common by far are former online poker players because people like that have demonstrated the above skills already.

I go to the gym after 10 pm
