This is my favorite time to train. On rough mornings, I’ll start around 11. Wake at 8, drink coffee, protein shake, coffee, train at 1030.
On work days, I tend to eat my first lunch around 11 and train around 1.
I think one has to wait to see the finished product to develop that connection. I’ve done things that sucked, but made me better and I’ve done things that just flat out sucked without any upside.
Sounds like a sprowl to me. The sparrows are the weirdos who LIKE and usually DO wake up at 4 a.m. - 5 a.m.
Absolutely agreed, especially given the stats.
My understanding is the cerebral-spinal fluid pools in the spine while sleeping. Once up and about, it needs an hour to reabsorb, so you experience make sense to me. By the time you’ve gotten out of bed, changed/eaten/drove to the gym, warmed up and conditions, the CSF has reabsorbed and your back’s ready to ride the Dark Horse.
I truly envy you sparrows. There’s something subtly energizing about the pre-dawn. Back in my 20s and 30s though, I was much more productive at 3 a.m. than 7 a.m. 
It’s definitely got to be close to an hour before I’m actually loading anything, so that makes sense
I’m at my best in the morning, for sure. Once it gets to around dinner time, there is no way I’m going to lift. I can keep working, though, so it’s pretty natural to order my day that way
While I’m on here, just an update to hold myself to it: I’m going to have to do 7 DH days straight to get back on schedule!
I can see that. The older I get, the more my circadian rhythm trends towards that direction. Lifting takes an extra something of energy, be it physical, cognitive, or emotional, that normal work usually doesn’t.
Doable, yes. Advisable though?
Since when does that factor in??
In Big Bang Theory terms, you just bazinga-d me
Rather you than me, that’s a tall order I’ve got to make up 2 days which means 3/4 in a row, 7 is crazy.
If I start making excuses and not doing it, though, that’s how this falls to pieces.
I legit didn’t factor in this state would still be under a strict lockdown
Yea that sucks, but I want to see @flappinit levels of commitment - build your own equipment and get it done!
Holy shit. I remember you saying a few months ago that this corona shit was overblown or something to that effect 
I still think the response is absolutely inappropriate
Couldn’t agree more mate
Back in the real world!

So now I’ve got the flu (assuming all the swabs I had to do don’t determine it was a different virus), so I have to stay out of the gym for a couple days until I’m not contagious - because I’m not a complete monster.
We’ll just re-pick up week 3 again next week and be back on track from there. I promise I’m not finding excuses simply because this program is hard… please believe me, self.
Ah that sucks dude, hopefully recovery is swift and tests are negative for Rona!
How’re you feeling? Any hint of a return to the gym this week?
