    Guys I am not talking about training the same body part twice a day.... That would be pretty dumb for lack of a better word. What I am saying is I could train shoulders on my lunch break from 12-1pm then hit the gym near my house around 7pm and train legs. I would be training two completely separate muscle groups.

    I know, I'm not sure how/why they took it in that direction myself. BTW, I hope you don't think I'm hijacking your thread - please forgive me if I have, thanks!

    I think it would be totally fine.

    When I really got into this juicing & lifting thing I would do 45 mins fasted cardio in the AM, then go back to lift late in the afternoon. Or, do completely different muscle groups - legs, then upper body.


    There are many ways to do this shit, it's figuring out what works for you.


    It's pretty much like cycling itself, just because it works for someone else doesn't mean you'll like it or it do the same for you.

    In my opinion if I squat in the morning, I will not be able to bench press the same weight in the afternoon as if I was fresh.

    Would I be able to train? Sure, but not with same intensity. Our goal is not to train the muscle to do a certain task like all other sports, the goal is hypertrophy.

    Would there be advantages to train morning and evening? Cant see any advantage, you dont grow in the gym. Unless of course you are a professional and have a bunch of steroids, HGH, insulin, IG1 etc, running in your veins.

    Dont think other sports, or professional sports, or rehab fits in this discussion and you wont find medical studies about lifters who live the lifestyle and/or which objective is hypertrophy.
