TweetUsually after work around 4-5pm. Its is tough after work, but dragging my ass out of bed 90min earlier than I have to is tough also.

Tweetyes sr getting up earley is hard but a monster and no explode get me going

Tweetcardio goes around 4-5am and then training after 2-3 meals around 930-1030

TweetThis time of year 5-6 am is ideal to avoid any crowed. Nothing kills my motivation like waiting on a jackass to stop abusing a station and move on. I have no problem waiting or working around a guy hitting it hard but those guys (newbies especially) that just hang out at the squat rack for 10 min between sets talking just kills me! Most times after the New Years crowd 3 pm is when we hit it and are usually finishing up before rush hour at the gym starts.

Tweet8pm sharp. Meat Market hour is over and I can train in peace.

Tweet9 am after lil one gets opff to school. Today I may go right back in the house though,lol brrrrrr

our gym floor is slammed from 430-730 am every single day and for the month after the new year it is retarded.
i also have a jackass fireman guru that likes to take up 10 machines for up to an our at a time. he is a skinny fat kid that's aways quick to give out tricks tips and dieting guidance lol. so what do i do? i will throw his stuff over two or three machines or benches away and when he comes back and says he was using it, i tell him to bad my man, you were busy chatting giving guidance and watching tv. i have a timeline to follow and i am not waiting for some dork to make his rounds.
one more gym type at my gym and i am sure they are everywhere. the little guy that partially moves 10x the weight as the biggest guy in the gym. when i say little guy he probably weighs about 160 on a good day. my super strong half ass guy has broke almost every machine in the gym at least once. he drags the 100lb plates all over the gym and he refuses to ever remove the weight off of the bars and benches that he uses. love this guy and he never changes. funny thing is if he leaves a ton of weight on something i am getting ready to use i will go to the other side of the gym and ask him to take it off cause i dont need that much weight to start with

Lol yes sir we all have those guys! I love your response to them though, I usually get frustrated but gotta be having a bad day to say much. Kinda let it build up I guess. I often move there stuff if there just taking up machines but it's usually just them being inconsiderate and leaving crap strung out over multiple stations. It's a small town gym with maybe 30 members that are consistently there throughout the day but always 2-3 that fit your mentioned profile. Lol

Tweetheck yea guns, thats how you talk to them. i flipped out on a kid once cuz i was having a bad day and he was looking stupid during db rows, funny thing is though we became gym acquaintances afterwards. i dont like having an attitude with people, and i typically move on to something else if some doofus is taking up the area.

but to answer your question double m, i try to hit the gym around 4 - 5 pm. no way could i get my ass up earlier than i already am and have a successfully intense workout. something about having a couple meals in me energizes my workouts, plus by the time those couple meals are over IM AWAKE! but i do this once i leave work, cuz the longer you wait the more your setting yourself up to fail.

TweetMon-Thurs: 5:45ish...i work until 5:30 and go right after work

Saturday: I train in the morning, prety much whenever i wake up

TweetI have the luxury of going mid-day right now. I can't go in the morning, like nips said above I just get tired too quickly and can't push myself if I haven't ate a few times before lifting.

My regular gym is real cool, I get to workout for free,they have 4 squat racks and I pretty much have it to my self except for a hand full of regulars and sporadic visitors. But, they have weird hours and I get busy and miss it sometimes and have to go to the dreaded planet fitness. It's a sure thing that you will find somebody making a total ass of themselves there. So I just wear my headphones and ignore everyone lol.

TweetGreat question!! I'm in the process of trying to rearrange my gym time so I can spend more quality time with my wife and daughter. I have tried the 5am gym time and that works really well for me. I am full of energy and my diet slots line up perfectly. Problem is, I'm a zombie when I get off work. HGH wipes me out. Typically I go to the gym between 6:30 and 7pm to miss the crowd, well this consumes my entire evening and thus no QT with the fam. Now I am going in to work at 7am and getting off at 4pm. I'm in the gym by 4:30pm, which fits perfectly in my diet slots and guess what.....QT with the FAM!!!

TweetI switch it up, sometimes mornings sometimes noonish and sometimes late at night
