I tend to work in the evenings so I have lazy mornings. Getting up at a reasonable time isn't really a problem, but I wish I was one of those people who can get out of bed and go to the gym or go for a run straight away. It's like I have to sit around for a bit before i can summon up the energy

I used to, but my hair gets greasy if I sleep on it
How do I achieve 6am master race? I always feel way too tired if I get up much before 8
>>37191268
If you lift in the morning. It will suck for like a week. Now, I get up on the weekends without an alarm clock at 545 still.
Just set dat Dere circadian rhythm.
Go to bed at 2200 at the latest
( swole married guy from a few minutes ago)
>>37191268
Just do it, bro.
It's easiest if you know you have something to do before you go to bed, so when you wake up, you know you can't stay in bed because you woke up with the intent of doing something.
>>37189366
>morning
Hah. I wake up at 12-1pmbon normal days unless work has me up earlier
>>37191291
>>37191296
Thanks brahs. I just feel like I have too much energy in the evenings to go to bed that early. Will give it a whirl though
>>37189366
>I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Lol (married brah again)
Dude I guarantee you the day you first start doing it you won't be amped at night.
Get up a 545. Lift hard as fuck. You'll be tired by 2200
>>37191355
I'm not gonna lie, if you don't have anything to keep pressure on you and motivate you to do it, it can be hard.
Me, I had work keeping me from 8 in the morning up to 3 in the morning the next day at times. If I didn't get up early to lift, I sure as shit wouldn't have any juice left for it when work finished. You just have to WANT to get up to do something enough. Haven't you ever had to get up extra early to catch a flight? It's kinda like that.

- Do not work out for more than 1-1.5 hours. Anabolic effects have been shown to be rapidly deminishing after that kind of time-period, as hormonal balance in the body shifts
- Drink a shake that spikes your insulin levels after working out
- get at the very least 8 hours of sleep each day, that's the time-period when your muscles do the actual growing part
You also cannot make gains on 2 slices of toast a day, but I'm just gonna assume you omitted your meals and that you're eating properly.
Wake up at 4 pm and don't do anything because it's my rest day and my life's empty.

Proof of post workout insulin spike effectiveness? I think it says in the sticky that post workout meal is really just a myth.

Then i wait until 6pm and start lifting. After working out, i spend the rest of my day playing video games up to 3 am and repeat.

don't get me wrong i love me some booze, but i thought it was the worst thing you could possibly do? kills gains and makes you fat
i'm kinda new here and just cut it out completely
>>37191469
Its cheap. Seems to work for me
>>37191458
No proof. There is no science backing it up, but most people believe that eating lots of carbs after a workout will help drive the protein into your muscle and speed up repair, one way or another. It's a really sticky meme in the BB community though and has been around for a long time, so I'm inclined to believe that there is some merit to it. But you're gonna eat those carbs either way, so why not have some right after a workout. Feels good anyway, and even if it turns out to be false, no harm done.
I personally do about 40% of my daily carbs before workout (oatmeal et al), 40% after, and then the rest throughout the day.
>>37191514
It is.
Remember most people here are still in the process of making it.
We're all gonna make it, we're just not there yet.
>>37190932
>tfw thinking of your hurting
>>37191541
i looked up how many calories are in hard liquor, the amount it takes to get me properly drunk, and it would be almost 50% of my daily calories. it's insane
makes me sick to think of all that beer and cider i've been drinking. that has to be like 90% of my fat
>>37191524
Thanks for clearing that up. I agree on eating after work out is nice and an easy way to do it especially for a large meal. But getting an insulin spike could also be done by just eating some thing sweet (a candy bar or something after working out). But seeing as there's no real proof for that, I'll just be sticking to having a normal meal like I always do.
>>37191576
Yeah, whatever works best for you, as long as you're getting the calories & proteins you need to build muscle & going catabolic.
>>37189563
>>37189963
How the fuck can you guys manage to takes naps in the morning? If I even think about sleeping again I know that im going to enter another REM cycle and ill feel like shit if i wake up in 10 mins or so.

I'm a dude. I'm naturally pale as a ghost and easily sunburn. I wanted to better show off what little muscle definition I have, so I bought some betacarotene and decided to use the tanning bed so I could have some control of how I tan.
The going is slow, but it works. I get 10 minutes 3-4 times a week. I'd up it to 15 minutes, but then I'd have to cut down on morning cardio or get up earlier.
>>37191646
iktf bro
Get f.lux for your computer or Twilight for your phone.
Buckle down and actually go to bed sooner.
Once you actually start getting more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night you'll realize just how much you'll refuse to go back.
>>37191737
In same boat, really pale and sunburn easily.
Did the tanning actually help with not getting sunburned as easily?

Yeah, I find it has helped me a lot in that regard. I won't say that it's the big kicker, but I've heard a lot of people in our situation have greatly benefitted from the betacarotene.
As for the tanning, I suppose progressive loading is the way to go - Start as low as you're comfortable with. For me, it was ten minutes at half effect for the first week, before I started uysing full effect. Some light kind of "burn" can be expected to begin with, but if you've been really sunburned before, you'll know the difference.
