Pros Training Late

[SOMF747]

So watching some of these guys, Jay and Kai mostly, they often train really late on occasion (around midnight). Any real advantage here or just their scheduling you think?

[RoroCwalker]

To avoid the crowds maybe.

[Groggery]

No advantage there, just the way they've managed their schedules.

Some manage to train before work, others don't have a job and can go whenever and some go at night.

[FilmOfWater]

yup I agree on avoiding the crowds.

[napa1m]

I like training late night as well

Scheduling

[Jigger1983]

I used to train late and get to chat with hot strippers...

Well seeing as how your metabolism is highest during the day when you are out and about, and slows down at night, maybe they are working out at night to boost it back up again - burn more calories.

Something I have noticed is the more I eat in the day before my workout the stronger I am. So if I was to train after only eating breakfast I wouldn't be as strong as if I had 5 meals in me training in the evening. No idea if that is why they train later but thats why I prefer it.

No

I've always liked to train after my work day...not before (otherwise I'd be too exhausted for work)...I also feel stronger later in the day compared to just getting out of bed.

Lately i've felt super groggery (had to ) after work and don't feel like training legs at 7:00pm. I work a desk job, so maybe i should just get up early and suck it up. You are right though, i always feel stronger later in the day vs. just out of bed, but my energy isn't as good.

Probably the best post of 2014 so far.

At that time of night the anabolic fairy godmothers hang out at the gym and bestow magic growth abilities to those they deem worthy.

[Problematique91]

I much prefer training at night.

Get work over with and have meals inside me.

I hate training in the morning, I rarely do it. In the morning (especially a day off work) I just want to sleep in a bit then wake up and slowly get the day rolling.

Imagine being a BB "star" and people want free training advice and pics while your prepping for a big show; you train at midnight and you have no wait for machines and few distractions.

That may be a factor. I'm sure it's just how they schedule their day to a certain degree. No 1 reason but a bunch of factors all playing a part.

[Big Slim DaDDy]

I think Jay does a lot during the day.

[RockyTheKid]

I think Jay does a lot during the day.

Yeah, especially now that he fired Larry Jr. and runs Cutler Athletics himself. Now he receives every order, processes them, mails them out...crazy.

Why did he fire him?

I like to train later in the day. More food in me, more hydrated, everything is loose from moving around all day.

Agreed, for the same reasons.

[Jegudiel]

Flex Wheeler used to train at night...

About the same here... it's a bit of a pain in the ass to re-hydrate if I do cardio late though
