Recently I got a new job and now train after work. i find that the strength is there as oppossed to when I trained before work but I suffer with energy lag much easier.
I used to train at 12pm and started work at 14:30. I got up at 10:30. Now I am up at 7:15 work until approx 16:45 and start training at 17:15
Does this get better over time? Do any of you guys feel the same?

Everyday,I'm used to it and hopefully never go back to mornings.

It will. Your body will adjust to the new schedule. Might want some coffee in the afternoon, or even eat something so your energy is up at that time, as I assume you don't eat dinner before going. I think you will like evenings better in the long run....I do.

Ive been a PM worker outer since the last 5 or 6 years... I only work out in the mornings on days off (holidays) or the weekends. The only thing that sucks about working out after work is if you go to the gym kinda late, you get a second wind of sorts and its kinda hard to fall asleep...other than that you should be getting accustomed to it in no time.
-
I go up at 5:20am, work and then work out at 8pm usually.
-
I always train after work at around 7 or 8 pm! My fave time to train!
I've tried the AM thing - its a bitch!
-

The graduate scheme for a Govt agency. Good scheme. Stairts off on a modest/reasonable wage and after 2 years increases very steadily. On completion of the trainee Management Scheme I am placed in a good position withing the Govt organisation of my choice.
haha yes I find the morning tiring when I get into work after 30mins I am generally fine and awake - I do not take caffine though these days. Before I train though I take a mass gain shake to keep me going. Approx 500-600cals. I am coming vack from an injury so am at least happy that I can train at all.
Glad to hear it gets better. I guess though if I get a day off and go to the gym mid afternoon after a lie in I will feel fresh as a daisy!

Bonus for after work training....girls in the morning don't usually look as good because they haven't done any morning repairs.they usually plan on going home after the gym and showering before work.
....after work they already have makeup on and are looking good :)
-
Pro's - I look good in a suit
Con's - I look like a retard when I train - i sweat and pant heavily lol
-
Always trained after work...
But I will say in my uni days I used to train before work in the morning great workouts

I'd rather my women to look like they do naturally, I can only handle so much lies, need not start with a pound of makeup.

Well, your "women" are named Jake and Rico, so it doesn't matter.....

I just got off work and I'm heading to the gym now
so, yes

why don't you take up cardio?

why don't you take up cardio?
I train very fast in my workouts. once I do my big 2 basic movements per day I pretty much bang out 25-30 sets in an hour as heavy as I can for reps. Quite tiring.
I actually ran a little the other day. cardio was not a huge issue. What did strike me was my legs felt tired due to my weight after. i had never felt this before. I will address it so I feel comfortable running at least a little
-
i have always felt weaker training in the morning, i always lift about 6 or 7 pm
-
I read a study before that said despite your Test levels being higher in the morning it does not matter what time you lift as long as you are consistent in the time you train.
-
I go from 7pm to midnight. I tan, shave, shower, sauna, chat, flirt, gossip, massage, pedicure, manicure, wax, floss etc. I usually do some light swimming, yoga and stretching.... then reward myself with a blueberry muffin and a hot chocolate "because I'm worth it".

For Natural lifters who are not using anti estrogen drugs...
Don't jerk off too much or you'll get horrible gyno due to prolactin release.
Limit to twice per week at the most.
-
LMAO at this guy who is shocked about having to go to work.
What were you doing before working? Just slangin gear?
Not like my job is difficult though, I just post on Getbig all day. I only post on Getbig at work actually.
-
mornings.
the only work out i will do after work, is sex.
-
I just started trainin at nights after work not too long ago. It kinda sucks but i do nothing after work usually anyway so I feel better once I'm done. I used to train in the mornings very early before work and that just sucked getting up.
I just don't like how busy the gym is, full of retards at 7-8pm when I go.
-
Do people actually work..... I thought everyone on getbig was living the dream ???

try working out when you're hungry.
I always train after work (work from 7 am to 4 pm and train at 4:30)... when i used to eat my retarded 6 meals a day, i'd be lethargic by the time i finish work and too tired to do anything. last meal i eat before i hit the gym is at 10 am... dying of hunger i go and workout... never had this much energy and i'm working out 60-90 minutes 6 days a week with 1 minute rest between sets.
try to cut out that mass gaining shake and see how it goes.
-
Majority of the time i work out after work.
I occasionally train in the morning but it's just not the same. I can get a good high rep workout but heavy weights just don't happen. Squatting is futile.
In the late afternoon/evening i've got a good few meals of food in me and i find it far easier.
I'm in agreemenr with buselmo. Although i've had a few meals, i'll have an apple, a banana and some water on the drive from work to the gym but i'm hungry most of the time and it doesn't affect my workouts at all. I find my leg sessions always better when i have the feeling of an empty stomach

some guys train FASTED, after the wake up, with pretty good results..
-
Always train after work. Have always trained late afternoon / early evening. Tried morning training for a little while but it didn't work out. Something about waking up and within a short period of time trying to lift heavy weights just didn't seem right to me. After work i may be tired but i feel more awake, if that makes sense.
-
I work on weekdays and I always train after work - usually I finish around 3:30pm or 4pm and I'm in the gym ten minutes later - it's only up the road from where I work. However, if I miss a day and I have to train on Saturdays, then I'll train at around 12pm.

I train 6:30am
I used to train after work but my theory is I tear the muscle fibers down in the morning now and eat and rest in work all day and take gh and they will grow back better, plus I still have nighttime to sleep also so more rest and growth
-
i work 7.ooam till 3.00pm.......... i always train around 7.30,,, always have done and any other time of the day doesnt feel natural at all
i get 2 meals in before i train too, 10 whole eggs and 2 slices of wholemeal toast straight after work, then i usualy drop off for an hr on the settee till our lass gets in from work, then its a protein shake with oats and bannana blended in around 6.30.
-
I work out roughly 3pm/4pm. Never could do mornings, the energy just wasn't there. usually have a coffee before I workout
