I go to the gym after work go home shower and sleep, is this good?

jesse977 · 02-29-2008, 03:02 PM

I go to the gym late at night and as soon as I get home I go to bed. I know that its better to go to the gym in the morning but I cant. I always thought that if I workout and sleep right after my muscles will be nice and recovered in the morning. What do you guys think?

getlean09 · 02-29-2008, 04:10 PM

i was always told its better to work out in the am to let muscles grow and recover during the day. When I used to work swing shift the only shift I could seem to get a workout on is right after 2nd shift then sleep like you but it didn't seem to recover as fast on days that I can workout in the am. I look at it as get the workouts in whenever you can just give your body time to adjust and recover to the next workout.

ArnoldsProtege · 02-29-2008, 04:22 PM

I would personally agree with that... if you cant work out in the morning, you cant. Simple as that. I personally train super hard sometimes in the gym, so working out in the morning would throw off my entire work day, especially if i had to do any lifting and such.

I think as long as your taking a protein shake PWO and are getting 7-9 hours of sleep you should be good. You could also add in some L-Glutamine powder, as ive heard that it helps speed up muscle recovery.

I train at 11:30 pm, I've been doing it for years. I have my pwo shake and then eat a small meal about 20 minutes later & hit the sack.

my friend used to do that then one night he died in his sleep.

he was 85 way to young to die

that was tense...thats ok as long as you have that post- workout meal after..remember your muscles need protein AND carbs to recover

I couldn't workout then go to sleep right away. I get done at the gym and I'm wired for hours. I guess it's a matter of getting used to doing it.

fufu · 03-03-2008, 09:16 AM

It's fine as long as it isn't interfering with how well you can fall asleep at night.
