weight training after bad night

[bumberto]

I have a newborn baby and she has colic so she wakes us up in the middle of the night screaming quite a lot. I am lucky to get 4 hours of sleep on some nights, while others the baby sleeps good and i can get my full 7 hours. is it okay to still weight train after a bad night or do you just scratch the session?

good luck with a baby with colic, the first year is going to be awful. might as well just put weight training on the back burner for the rest of the year and do your best

Never really an issue for me.

You need balance or you will eventually have a breakdown. Your mental state and rest is more important than trying to push through a workout. This is why tons of guys who are big into fitness take a break once they get married and have kids. Only to come back to it after the kids get older. I went through this myself so I completely understand.

I raised two kids while my wife worked nights and still trained whether it was 2 hours of sleep or 8. I never gave it much thought. Just kept grinding. Life happens and o dont accept excuses or writing off sessions.
