    When is the best time to lift?

    I am a college student and in the gym it can be busy during the day, I am going to do DC training and hoping its cool to lift at 8 a.m. before class.. Is this good or bad?

    The best time of day is when you're most comfortable mentally..

    There is no 'good' or 'bad' time.

    well for me it's either in the afternoon or evening. I cannot work out in the morning. I am too groggy when i wake up, and i find i can mentally prepare myself for the workout if it is later in the day. And the workouts are better too than if i were to do them really early. Honestly, i don't know how those 5-6 am gymgoers do it...

    Whenever you can. I like to get a bunch of pro/carb meals in before a lift. Theres really no need, but thats another issue. Anytime is fine. The rec at my school is packed from 5-8pm so I usually go around 9.

    I really like to lift in the morning not as busy and then feel good for the rest of the day.

    it's a fact your testosterone levels are highest in the morning so maybe A.M. is better?

    i would go at a time when ur nutrition allows you too...meaning you are awake..have energy have mostlikely eaten a meal or two and were able to eat a preworkout and then a postworkout meal as they are very important....my buddy has taught me alot lately and one thing is that you work your day around ur diet not ur diet around ur day kinda hard but yields results
