For you early risers... What helps?

Well, been going strong for a few weeks now getting up at 4am. MWF lift. TU & TH are cardio days. My "gym" is home, so I can usually get up and grab my cup of coffee and start around 415. Only problem is I am going on an empty stomach. Lift days usually takes about 1-1.5 hours as I got my wife training with me, so we break weights down, switch, add weight, until I can afford more/new/better equipment. I try to be done by 530 to cool down, eat, and get ready for work.

Nice bro, you can do it if you want it. I’ve been doing a.m. workouts for a long time 4am. I don’t need anything like coffee, but I do use pre-workout about 15 minutes before I go to the gym.So yes, I go to bed early 9 o’clock is my limit. Before I go work out I eat some Greek yogurt with some blueberries, grapes and sometimes with a tablespoon or two of peanut butter and jelly and I drink a intra workout with Gatorade or Powerade or BodyArmor with a scoop of ECAA’s creatine, glutamine. I eat about an hour after my workout.

I wake up, chug my preworkout while I get dressed and hit the gym. I have found a carb shake works really well for energy instead of going to train fasted.

I get up at 5 am , make some coffee and make a quick bowl of CoR , mix up whatever PWO ,drink it down, wait 30 minutes then hit it, I workout at home too.
