I think I read that your CNS is fully functional 3-11 hours after waking up so you could try going a bit later if it's an option. I think I remember reading that the optimum time to work out is about 5pm, if you've woken at a normal time, because this was dusk and when humans were most at risk from attack. Take that with a pinch of salt though as it was some book from a while ago and I can't provide any evidence to back it up. | ||

Workout out later in the day is not really an option for me, been there, tried that, I get tired and whiny at the end of the day and I end up skipping :p If I do my workout in the morning it doesn't matter if I have a shit day, it won't make me skip gym. edit: I could try working out at lunch instead... Gonna look into it, see how flexible my job will allow me to be. | ||

Even though I have been doing PC for a while, these are some good tips to keep around just in case you decide to fail on your technique to "reach a bigger weight". Thanks! :3. I went to the gym yesterday, good day: 125kg x 3 x 5 Squat (felt so good, I had no problem, and didn't even fluked, a guy came behind me to spot me on my last rep, but I as I saw he was going to "help me", I yelled "ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE". Hahahaha, was so fun  .6x2 2x1 PowerClean 65kg. I don't know why I did it this way, I was just too tired after the heavy squats, and didn't wanted to mess around doing 5x3. I know I fucked the program but w/e, did my complete 15 reps  .C&J up to 75kg. x 2. Felt good, I was tired as fux, and Coulcn't keep on going, but I'm happy I finally managed to complete a gym session without fucking up myself and feeling numb. yay! .Progressssssssss | ||

I can't imagine weights at that time though, but I've never tried it. | ||

There was a time I worked at 8am, I used to wake up at 5, go running for like 40minutes (10km or so) and then get back and do weights. shit was insane, but I felt awesome for the remainder of the day heh :D | ||

I've been considering it for a while actually. I did some basic reading on RPT today, and I've decided that I'll do RPT just for squats, and just until the end of my cut (which is probably another 6 or so weeks, dropping from 85kg to 82kg). The other exercises I'm not feeling to bad about right now, but I'm really having issues recovering from squats at the moment. | ||

I felt like I could puke and the vile aftertaste of bananas came back into my mouth. Damn that was disgusting. 3 bananas. What size were they? | ||

Squat: 2nd set of my 5x5. Crazily enough my 5th set felt better than my 3rd and 4th. Deadlift: Felt like an idiot after first rep when I realized I hadn't put my pants back on but persevered XD Thanks for all your encouragement on a daily basis | ||
