Before Bed Workout

OMNIFEX · 06-01-2004, 10:07 PM

Hey!

I have a one Weider 35 pound barbell, and was thinking it would be cool to do some squats with it before I hit the sack. Possibly some weighted situps as well.

Anybody doing a "Before Bed Workout"

i love workin out b4 i go too bed, i get a better night sleep that way(bout ten hours). but when i do, half tha time hunger wakes me up, even tho i always eat b4 i go to bed

Well I wouldn't suggest you squat everynight before bed, but working abdominals before bed is cool. Make sure you have nice, smooth form if you decide to do weighted ab movements.

for the ab movement would it be best to hold it across your chest?

that's because you are putting your body in a catabolic state before sleep...

Why?

I lift way more than that when I'm in the gym.

Because training the same muscle group every day can lead to over training that muscle.
