Can't. Won't. No car at school, and the gym is free for me.

>but is that enough to put on weight still?
Depends on TDEE and CICO/Thermogenic Effect of Food

>Would lifting early in the morning hinder my weight gain?

Weights aren't people, so they aren't lighter in the morning anon

Nice excuses

can you explain for someone retarded like me?

When I was in law school I would go to the gym at either 5:30 am or 9pm.

Both times were fucking amazing. It was at a large university, too. Any other time was a fucking crap shoot that would cause me to be stuck in there for 3 hours.

Nah anon you're fucked.

Lifting in the morning will severely hinder your strength and muscle gains the same as lifting later in the evening will.

Earths gravitational pull is lighter in the morning (this is why people are taller in the morning, less gravity pulling them down) and nights, so the weight will be far less and your force of power will be weaker.

You can still make gains but it will take more months of work.

Last week I changed my schedule around to workout in the AMs. I get up at 5:30, gym at 6:30.

So far it's working out great, had a great squat session today.

Your total daily energy expenditure, how much energy you are burning. The base is your Basal Metabolic Rate, which you burn just by existing, and then the activity on top of that combines with your BMR for your TDEE

The Thermogenic Effect of Food (TEF), is how much energy it takes to digest food. Like the myth of celery, or any food, having "negative calories" because it takes more energy to "eat" it than the food contains. This is important when comparing whole unprocessed food, which need more energy to process, vs. processed foods, which have been pre-processed and since you're using a lot less energy to digest them, more calories are absorbed

To build muscle/gain lean mass, the conventional wisdom is that you need to eat at a surplus, I've seen 250cals a day to 1000+ depending on the person, though this could change if you're a fatass and it's possible that with noob gains adipose tissue could be lost and there could be a concurrent gain in lean mass

Use this calculator and get your TDEE (The caloric needs of your body to maintain it's current weight).
If you want to lose weight, you eat less than that. If you want to gain weight, you eat more than that. That's all.

Confirmed not going to make it. Find another gym. Run there for your cardio. What the fuck are you doing with your life?
