    Before Bed Workout

    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"

    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.
    These are my favorite faces : - - -

    Personal Bests:

    Bench - 235
    Deadlift - 315 X 17
    Squat - 315 X 11
    40 yrd. - 4.65

    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...
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

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