re: Switching from early morning to late evening for lifting?

My kids also get going early. I have worked out after work 4:30 or 5:30 for 2 years now at a crossfit gym. I could not do as late as you are targeting. I am in bed by 9:30pm. I usually take a pre-workout 30 minutes before and grab a protein bar and apple or banana after work. My energy and workouts have gotten better over time. The summer is hotter in the evenings so need to hydrate much more but also helps me stay fitter for mid 50s. The best workouts are this time of year into spring. I take a creatine shake after the evening workout. My appetite takes an hour or so to build up after the workout but I eat well and sleep really really good. Try it and see if you can adapt and keep pace.
