Morning all! :)
[QUOTE=izzygrant;975421673]Thank goodness it isn't just me! I've been a night owl all my life and everyone kept telling me I would grow out of it, but I never have.
No matter what time I get to bed, I'm useless in the morning. I like doing morning cardio to wake me up - I feel better for the rest of the day - and then lift around 7-8 pm which is when I'm most "on". Trying to lift in the morning is a waste of time for me, worst workouts ever.[/QUOTE]
It is interesting how people's clocks are different.....my best workouts are around 630-7AM after my fasted cardio and then breakfast.

What organization are looking to compete in?? Usually the websites have the dates

Most likely opa but their site only lists the 2012 dates unless I'm blind

Nope you are not blind. But if you look at the dates of each of the shows and make sure it is a qualifier, then you can guess that 2013 will probably be close to the date for 2012.
So lets say the the Stratford Championships was April 14, 2012 of this year, then my guess is that it will be April 13th for 2013 (typically all show are on a Saturday), so I would plan for that time frame.

Flexie/Wayne.....you both train first thing AM....do you do it fasted, semi-fast (shake during) or full tummy?
Had a pretty good chest workout lastnight. Got 285 for 5 on bench. I feel like it should be doing more than that, but I'm still happy.
[QUOTE=sglgirl;976730423]Flexie/Wayne.....you both train first thing AM....do you do it fasted, semi-fast (shake during) or full tummy?[/QUOTE]
When I was training AM, it was fasted.
I'd take a pre, then down BCAAs during/post.

I haven't even hit 2 plates on bench, 3 plates on squat, or hell even 3 plates on deads.
Granted, I've been recovering and have had gaps in training, but still...

LOL @ Wayne training early. Nope. Does he even lift?
And yes, I do it fasted. I eat before I go to bed, but I don't eat when I get up. No shake either.
PWO drink = gatorade, with one scoop each of: creatine, arginine, beta-alanine.
Seems to work for me. I can't train with a full stomach. Blech.

Thanks Matt I appreciate that. I have been doing moring cardio, eating and then head out for weights. BCAA with weights and then post shake/banana. Today I didnt have time to do pre-cardio and weights so weights gets done first (longer burn for the day and bulking). I did it with fasted with BCAA and small shake. I am thinking though over the next couple of weeks to switch up and do weights first thing and 20 min of cardio post since I am trying to grow...
[QUOTE=LithiuM23;976227033]Happy Birthday Rick![/QUOTE]Thanks buddy, spent the day with the kids...they were both cranky as hell lol and now my boy has a cold. Had homemade pizza for supper and chocolate fudge cake with pb frosting....YUM, got a kobo glo from the fam....not a bad day.

Good luck!! How is your training going? I'm pretty excited to be in my first off-season. Looking forward to seeing the results come April.

Thanks yours and Matt input is great. I cannot train on a full stomach no matter what time of the day so that is why I think I prefer working out earlier in the day. I think though that I will put my cardio post workout now until 12 weeks to contest and then start doing it morning fasted and then workout.

I think all of next week is supposed to be around +9 and partially cloudy with sun. So at least its something to look forward to lol

I prefer to train fasted as well, so I make sure I don't eat after around noon. A lot of the time I find it easier just to IF, drink BCAA's between morning cardio and evening weights and then eat my daily cals after lifting.
Do you find doing cardio first/fasted makes a big difference for fat loss?

I have always done cardio before my weights (not always fasted but at the most a shake). Typically if I dont do my cardio first I am bad for skipping it or not having enough "time". I am trying to bulk over the next two months so I thought moving it after might be better (because I am bulking if I miss it, I miss it). When the 12-14 week mark comes pre-show then it will be switched back up to morning fasted, if it makes a difference that is when I will see it.
Hey all, what's happening? Got a family full of sickies at home, glad i'm in for backshift tonight except that I haven't slept in days...
