Late night lifting crew

This is me.

Usually, as of late, my training sessions straddle the midnight hour, but I'm sick of it. Never really been a morning lift guy, but I want to become one. I want to get the lift done and move on to other things as opposed to feeling like I'm pushing my training as late as possible and cramming it in at the end of the day. I often do the same with my walking/steps, not 100%, but too much. I'm tired of feeling rushed, and I've had too many instances lately of procrastinating all day, saying "I"ll start right after this" until it gets real late and then I get really tired and just say "frick it". I'll do the lift a day late, and it feels like I'm always off schedule.

I don't think there's inherently anything wrong with late training. I've just been doing it that way for so long I want to do things differently for a while.

Switched to mornings 2 years ago and won’t ever go back to afternoon or night. Been a game changer for me.

I usually train Jiu jitsu at the 6am class during the week.

After getting the kids in bed, I’m working out in the garage gym at about 830-9pm.

Can be tempting sometimes to skip a workout at the end of the day and push the program back a day. But, it feels really good when you’ve been looking forward to training all day and you go out there at a good time and get it done.

I’m only 2 days in but getting up at 4:30, coffee til 5, lift til 6 is working well. I had to give up my 9-10:30 pm alone time and just go to bed with everyone else but not having to stress about a workout is nice.
