The only way I can train is in the morning... I never seem to have the energy at night.
I've been training in the morning for about 8 years...I went from roughly 140-150lbs to 170-180 lbs(no gear)....Im not big, but for my genetics(I'm VERY ectomorphic) I've made decent gains.
I think once you get used to it, you will make excellent progress.
I hit the gym at 6:30, session ends about 8/8:30 go to work, feel great, burn major cals all day after work I have the rest of the evening for myself to rest/relax whatever.
i think i actually get better results working out in the morning..
i am more focused in the morning and i also feel that my body uses the meals post workout to fill the muscles and then when i sleep they grow... when i lift at nite i only get 1 or 2 meals in after then go to bed..
at times i go empty stomach with no problems but i prefer to take some nlarge b4 the workout or maybe a bagel and some whey if i have the time.. i tryto avoid the eca's but at times they come in very handy
