Hey everybody, I'm new to this site but have lifted for years. At what time do you believe your mind is most ready and foucsed to get a great workout in? I personally love to get a work out in the morning to start my day and get my mind right for work. I have good concentration and feel awesome lifting in the morning?What part of the day is your mind most ready?

mid-day... i like to have two solid meals before i workout...
but often i am forced to go earlier because of work and my workouts dont seem to suffer...

While in college I used to go at 4:30am. It was hard getting up, but after my lifts/running I'm glad I did. I didn't really lift heavy back then; only bench/curls. At the present time I go around noon. As long as I get some food in me I'm fine. I tried lifting with no carbs beforehand and it really takes it's toll.

I am going midday. Trying to eat correctly before i go. Have a question for you though which is related. For example a couple of times something came up and didnt eat anything from morning till the time to hit the gym only my protein shake. I felt really hungry and dizzy i can say from this? Shall i still hit the gym or try to go in the afternoon so i can eat something and go later?

I work at night so going to the gym before 3 pm it's out of the question!

Has to be afternoon. Mornings never worked for me, intensity-wise.

Late Morning/Early Afternoon, as long as I've got some breakfast in my system , and by the time I'm done I'm ready to grub out again ..

Mid afternoon is my best time. I am trying to switch to night time because I work out in a 20X30 shed in my driveway, and here in Tx. it is so freaking hot and really taxes me; so with the weather getting worse I am going to go to nights, though I seem to lag at nightime. And mornings are the worse; takes me 2 hours to fully wake up
