Arnold suggests working out in the morning right after taking in a carb shake. I tried it a few times and love it. It's kinda hard to do it at school though, but maybe during the summer break.

Sucked for me, i need to be awake for about 3 hours. My early morning workouts were among the worst, i was weak, akward and it fealt like i was lifting with my bones and tendons, like the muscles were not there or something, it's hard to describe but that's as close as i can get it.

i've been working out at 5am for the past year but i've been getting lazy because its getting colder in the AM (50 degrees, hehe). i was told to eat before working out to minimize catabolism. i was just wondering how many workout in the AM and eat before going. thanks for the replies bros.


whats that about a sweatshirt??

Ive been working out around 7am the past couple days,and I really like it,BUT I work third so I had been up all night,and had taken in a good amount of food.I do like lifting right after I get up and get some food in,and settled....it does seem to make me feel good/ready for the rest of the day.

at bare minimum i would say get some honey up in you before workin out

I trained at 6 am for almost 2 years. I would wake up at 4AM, eat some Oatmeal and go back to bed. After a while, I wouldn't even really wake up for this meal. By the time I got up to meet my trainer 2 hours later, I was ready to roll!

and you feel like a million bucks for the rest of the day

I've never lifted that early but I have recently been taking a 5 AM spin class on Wednesday...and I feel like a million bucks for the rest of the day. I wish I could drag my ass out of bed every morning...but I'm being realistic since I am a total night owl. I go on an empty stomach, but this is just cardio.
