For you early risers... What helps?

[jswift1]

I get up at 5A every week day for work. It takes me a bit to roll out of bed, take some coffee and get going. I'm wanting to start my lifting in the morning before work so I can get some stuff done around the property after work. Plus you never know who might show up or what my wife or daughter may have planned for me. Im not much a caffeine person other than the coffee first thing. Im a person of habit and go to bed around 9 most every week night. How do some of you others do it?

Just raw dog it.

Get your ass up and make it happen.

Think about how comfortable and cushy you are in that bed. Then think if that’s feeling seems like something that makes you harder.

Rest is obviously needed, but if that’s the only time you can work out you make it happen. No questions asked.

i work out at 3am and 4am. just got used to it.
i have no choice really as well so I just do it every fucking day.
kids wife work afterschool activities, plus i coach kids wrestling in the afternoons.
i end up losing about an hour on somedays with them, since i go to bed around 8sih but would lose way more if i worked out in the evening.
I drink coffee first thing however and preworkout lol.

i always tell my kids that you either want something or you dont.
if youre thirsty you get water, hungry get food, no food in pantry? go to store.
sick you go to doctor etc.

if you really want it youll find a way!

ps
early am training is the best!

Do it for a period of time and it becomes natural like waking up at any time. Working out AM is a great way as you wake up motivated to f stuff up.

Work starts at 7. I get up at 3:30, half cup of coffee and mix up my intra workout and pre workout. Feed the dogs and at the gym by 4:30. I’ve been doing it for so long, it’s just habit now. Rest days are “usually” Wednesday and Saturday and I’ll sleep in until 4:30 those days.

Just make it your routine and your body will adjust rather quick

You'll adjust and take some Tren it'll force you to wake up early

Only advice I have is dont hit snooze.

This right here. Make your alarm sound the most fucking obnoxious sound your phone has and bounce right outta bed. After a few weeks your body starts doing it on its own and you don’t even need the alarm. Been doing it this way for 3 years since shift work. Works like a top

Yep, same thing, last 9 years or so I got my ass up at 0400, gym 0430 work by 0630. I got to a point that sleep is more important to get any results than getting up early. Miss getting it out of the way first thing though.

Getting to bed early is the biggest factor I think
