Who Hits The Gym Early Am?

[Liberator]

Well I did it, and it was great

It will definately take some getting used to, but having the whole weight area to yourself is good stuff as far as I am concerned

I was able to set everything up how I wanted it and not have to wait for anything plus there was no distractions (apart from a very nice looking girl doing cardio ). I just need more sleep pm in future.

Definately going to make it a regular thing

I just slammed down 2 scoops of NLARGE about 45mins before I went (26g Protein, 48g Carbs), I dont think I could eat anything or drink more than that.

I am going in about 10 mins to do squats, SL deads, and weighted crunches. I hope I don't puke...

The gym I workout at (local Y) opens at 5 am usually start by 5-10 after. Been doing it for 6 years now and it's the best.
Can get to any equipment needed, ABSOLUTELY NO DISTRACTIONS (candy store is CLOSED that early)

Feel Great and invigorated all day. Have to go to bed early, but it's been working for me.

I get there about 5:15. I'm a morning person. I always have extra energy on my gym days (M,T,Th,F). Now I look forward to my workouts. I didn't always though, and by going in the mornings, I was less likely to skip. Then I found out how great I felt afterwards, and I was hooked!

the only thing i can do at 6 am is my cardio. my weight workout comes in the evening at 6pm

by doing your weights early in the gym...there's usually noone there to bug ya. eveyone is usually on the cardio equipment.

I used to do my weights in the morning for a couple of years, but changed it up this summer. Now I only do cardio in the morning and go back at night to do weights.

I'm thinking of switching again b/c sometimes it's hard to come home from work and head out to the gym, instead of coming home and realxing cause you did everything in the morning...

My gym is totally packed in the evening, and I don't know about you guys but I like to be alone to work out. I don't like smalltalk and I HATE waiting! So I try and go in the morning, as early as I can. I don't eat anything before I go because I can't work out with food in my stomach. When I go home I have a shake and some carbs, and I'm in the best, most energetic mood all day! I swear, I feel great. And I am SO not a morning person. Yeah, you have to go to bed early but I think it's worth it

anymore advice for food before the am workout? is a protein shake with carbs the consensus choice?
thanks
