What Is The Best Time Of Day To Train?

BEST TIME

What is the best time of day to weight train? Why?

The best time of the day to train is going to be the 2-3 hours immediately before or after your body's peak temperature (see above for more information). This is going to allow you to give your workout everything you have, which is in essence the only way to train.

For different people this time may vary greatly, which is why anyone telling you to train 'in the morning' or 'after work' is not giving you solid advice. Training advice is like diet advice; it is not one-sized fits all. However, most people tend to experience their high points in the late afternoon, and their lows in the hours before waking. That being said, your best bet is still to test this for yourself.

If you are unable to train during your peak hours, you should at least try to avoid the hours before/after your lowest temperature range. Those times are going to typically leave you with less energy for your workout and a lot less focus. There are some benefits to working out during your 'low points', but they are outweighed by having a sub par workout.

Now, there is an exception to the rule! If you are training for some specific event or competition, then the temperature timing might not be the best for you. An example would that if you are into soccer; you know that every Saturday afternoon you have a game from Noon-3PM.

This is a chance for you to make your body adapt to your schedule! By making your workouts consistently around that time range, your body's Circadian rhythms will adjust to provide you with better energy and higher temperatures during that time frame. So if you are training for something specific, then the goal becomes not to adjust to your high points but instead to change them.

On the topic of changing your Circadian rhythms, it can be done! Many of us bodybuilders keep odd hours at work, and find ourselves going to the gym during the dead of night or early in the morning. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because if you are consistent with your scheduling you can make your body adapt to this type of training.

However, this is a slower process and some people have a harder time adjusting than others. This, as with almost everything else, depends largely on your body and its adaptability.

The final note on this question relates back to the introduction: The most important part is that you train. It is understandable that not all can schedule their lives around the gym. This is where certain supplements do come in handy; however imagine the potential you could have combining the proper nutrition, training, training timing, and supplementation. This is how you transcend from being a man to a beast.
