Training at 4AM in the morning...

[Gaoshang Xiongshou]

Don't know if any of you guys or girls can relate to my situation of having to train at 4AM in the morning for three mornings straight then off for the rest the week. Although it's a good amount of recovery time at 4AM in the morning it's hard to find any inspiration or drive to help you get the pump on that early. If any of you have to wake up this early, what do you do for your early morning drive?

I think about the alternative: Training with the after work crowd.

The next thing you know, I am in and out of the gym at 6AM.

I've found that building my own custom pre-workout mix has worked best for me. I use True Protein's custom mix builder. I've played around quite a bit with the ingredients, but some of my staples are; L-Tyrosine, Taurine, Beta Alanine, Caffeine, Citrulline Malate and BCAA. The best part is you can control the exact amounts of each ingredient.

I am looking at ALRI's WTF or BSN's NO-Xplode for a good instant stimulant since I don't drink coffee. Can you guys give a comparison?

I do agree about the working out early then having all day to eat and recoup.

that new no explode is awesome,i never was much for the orginalone but i like this one much better,it hits you fast,no jitters and it wears off pretty quick!!!!

at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do. Life gets in the way of everything. If thats the only time you can work and you cant get "normal" sleep, then thats the way its gonna be. Life/family always prevails over anything else. but with that being said, something strong like NOexplode might work for the jolt. if not do what someone said earlier with the caffeine tabs.

Just to let you know Dorian Yates Nutrition has FINALLY come back online, soo, you should be able to get noxpump again, or very soon, which everyone said was the best, but, I reckon a few others have caught up to it by now, it has been off the market for 6 months.

I used to start out with a huge ECA stack....I find that I'm better off first thing in the morning whether I have breakfast in me or not.....

I train at 430am seven days a week, been doing that for 10 years. It's the only way I don't cut into family time.

I might consider this since family time has thinned out and school and work want to get the best of me! I wake up at 3am every morning to eat anyway!! I dont use ECA except maybe once a year, but that will do the trick. I also mix my chocolate protein with coffee no matter what time I wake up.

why do you train 7 days a week?I think your still asleep and cant rememeber if your supposed to go!!!

I was waking up at 3 am to pick a workout not so long ago . Wasn't that hard but still prefer going to the gym after 3 or 4 meals , I get better workouts in that condition...I was taking Super Pump in those months and hell , did it work , sometimes had to check a vid or two to get motivated also and well , music always helps so much while training. Good luck with your training.
