Is it true the ideal time to go to the gym and work out is early

Such as...

A friend of mine in uni recently did one but here are others:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22531613
That one is a review article going over Multiple studies that were done
There is also the idea that it helps one sleep better at night as opposed to rousing yourself in the afternoon or night from exercise.

On the subject of arousal, you are more energetic for your daily activities such as work or school it there rousing you get from morning exercise (also followed by a shower) since it keeps hormone levels up from the morning to late afternoon.

Did you even read that first one you posted?

The science suggests, at least in terms of strength, you perform best in the mid-late afternoon.

But, speaking from experience, working out in the morning does indeed make you feel more energetic through the day.

But I stopped morning workouts mainly because I have to spend a long time warming up my joints if I want to bench, squat or do any muscle-ups or similar explosive movements. Otherwise I end up with elbow pains.

Well yeah.

Morning workouts don't have to be the only workout you do in the day.

It can just be a simple calisthenics stretching and short jog/jumping jacks kind of thing.

A good simple focused but not tiring 10-20 minute morning workout to start the day is ideal for everyone.

I've been wondering this from a testosterone point of view. You have more T in the morning, so would working out help to elevate your T even higher, upping your threshold? Or would it be better to workout in the early evening when your T level is tapering off, so that you spike it at the end of the day in order to extend the time?

The fluctuations in natural test levels are not worth factoring into your daily life at all.

How about if I'm pinning? Best time to shoot up?

From my experience this is true. Also in the morning is the only time of the day where the gym isn't crowded as fuck.

>I just can't consistently wake up at 5:30or 6am to go
Start going to bed earlier every day.

Yes I did. It is a review article. It has some contradicting evidence obviously since it looks over Multiple studies. That's why I'm making this thread.

I used to work at a bakery before current job so it's easy for me now to get up early. Just buy blackout curtains, force yourself to go to bed early and force yourself to get up earlier. Eventually it becomes more natural.

There's other little shit that can help. Like only drink coffee in your first hours of being awake and a sleep aid tea before bed. I do that shit, just around 7 pm I'm making my iced protien-coffee for the morning and at the same time brewing some supposed sleep-help tea. Idk if it actually does anything but it's a part of my habit. I also use the flux app on my phone and computer to keep that damn blue light from fucking up my eyes and it's helped some.

But otherwise it's really just grits man. Getting up kinda sucks no matter the hour so it's gonna suck equally at 5am or 6am but after those first ten minutes you're ok.

Yeah I need to work on my time management. I end up finishing everything and going to bed at like 1am or 2 am.

I lift during my lunch break and run after work.
