It's always ladder day in my world

Your world scares me. Waking up early. Climbing ladders after leg day. lol

Did you make it to the gym today?

Force it for 3 weeks and that will be your new pattern. You’ll be waking up at 4:45am on Sunday locked and loaded for the gym! (Not necessarily awesome)

I wake up at 430 just about everyday, I just never felt like a get as good a workout as I do in the later part of the day.

For me it's just mind of matter.

Hello guys and gals of Meso.

Any one have any tips on how to become a morning lifter. I mean like a 5 am lifting person.

I own my own business and it's our busy season and finding time in the day is becoming a bitch to say the least.

Without going into too much detail I am in construction and I literally have no time in the daytime. Winter months I can get 4 out of 5 days and I hit it on weekends when I have to.

The sad truth is that I've never been a morning lifter but I am up by 430 almost every day.

I guess I know the answers I seek but if anyone has any good tips I am all ears.

Thankyou in advance

Well good someone is like me. I get up at 4am to be ready to hit it at 6am. There is no secret, just start getting up at that time. Your system will, over a few months, start wanting to get up early. I myself now get up at or before 5am even on weekends. That’s the downfall. Once you get used to waking up early you won’t want to go back.

I also like others go again in the evening for cardio.

What’s this “cardio” you speak of? Lol

 

[Oldman.]

Depends on the day, but 4 days out of 7 I do interval training on a bike 30min, then the matrix climber for 15 min and then the treadmill for 10min. Then abs and hyper extensions. Total over an hour.

So my second week seemed harder than the first but I made it 4 out of six days counting A Saturday.

I think I can do this morning stuff after all.

I switched to 5:30am workouts a year ago so I have more time with my kids after work. I have a shake of egg whites, banana, blueberries, and quick oats, pack my shit for work, and I’m out the door. I’ve gone to the gym a handful of times at 5pm on days I work from home, and I’m just annoyed with all of the people there. Stick with it, it gets easier!

What time do you fall asleep to allow yourself to wake up at 4:45?
