Whats the best time...

Whats the best time of day to train? Morning, afternoon or evening?

I am currently going at 16h00 in the afternoons. But I was just pondering about the time that would give best results?

Thanks,
Roger!

this has been discussed numerous times. I would say late morning (10-11) as its just enough time in to the day to work in 2 meals and not too late to be drained by the days work.

Don't think it really matters, I am at work from 8 till around 4. Then I get home, prepare my meals for the next day and take a nap. Then gym from around 19:00... I'd say what ever time suits your lifestyle best. And anyway, who wants to be at the gym when its packed? I want to do curls in the squat rack in peace

yeah i think as long as your meals are well planned and you have the necessary energy (hich itself can come down to meal planning) you should be fine anytime... I train around 6:30pm normally... Just after the rush

..... I want to do curls in the squat rack in peace ......

LOL..

Freaking hate that. Especially if the oke only has 2 X 2,5 n the side..

People really shouldn't squat in the squat rack. How do they want me to do biceps without winking at myself in the mirror?

Testosterone levels are higher in the morning, so if you training clean, then as said by thunder that would be a good time, enough time to get food in, for it to metabolise, still have increased test levels, etc....

However its marginal when I speak about the test increase.

Also it help jumpstart your metabolism for the day

Who wants a fast metabolism? I have to eat a shitload as is everyday :sick:

fast metabolism will help you cut quicker if its what you are going for

Exactly, why can't they lift the 200+ kg weights with the bar, olympic style, squat and then do a few reps shoulder press... Now they moan when I do my 20pound dumbells in the mirror

Next they gonna tell you to stop doing quadsets on four different machines.. people these days..

Haha... Hijack over.

Next same I see a doos doing biceps in the squat rack I'm going to thow the clown with a clamp :whistle:
