What time do you workout at the gym?
>179x250bot thread
>>76719078I start work at 4am so that rules out lifting before work After work I've got to go home and spend time with my kids, cook them dinner, etc. so I can't lift after work Luckily, I get 2-3 hours break during the day where I go lift. The gym is reasonably quiet between 12 - 3pm
>>7671907811am - 1pm ish depending on when I wake up, yes I'm a NEET
9-11am are the only times I've ever been. I've heard the horror stories of 5pm.
>>767190784am because my gym isn't 24 hours anymore and I like the quiet. Dry sauna is also extra nice when you're the only one in there. I'm a NEET but it's not hard to get up early to do shit you like and then take a short nap later on in the day. I'm a morning person anyway. Just a nice time of day.
0620
Usually 6pm but afterwards I feel restless and undersleep and the effect doesn't subside until 18h+ have passed. I don't know what to do, I can't lift mornings with an empty stomach
>>76719078>>76719089
>>76719094Mine starts at 5am and I went a few times before work. It was pretty unproductive, especially on an empty stomach.
>>76719078>cardio after I wake>lift before I sleepIt is a simple life.
>>76719170>>76719182it takes some mental adjustments, but fasted morning lift can be great. esp. with less ppl, you can manage to superset for some extra intensity and raise up that HR. good fat burner and can be productive. the biggest benefit of fasted exercising is the focus and clarity.
>>76719115Heyoo3-4am is truly the coziest time to go.My gym is 24 hours during the week (not fri/sat/sun because drunk zoomers kept hurting themselves ego lifting), but I live in a college town and my the place is packed wall to fucking wall from 6am-12pm, it’s fucked.I swear to god it’s a fire hazard any given day between those hours, you do not need to be nine deep on a bench for emotional support. It’s a trendy chain though and I guess their marketing team knocked it out of the park + it’s close to campus.I live about three blocks from the place and I absolutely love walking there at night, it’s super cozy.I’m also a NEET but only because I just graduated and am waiting on some kinda-exclusive program I qualified for to start in the fall.>tfw I found part time employment to help with my expenses and the schedule they want me to work is perfectly aligned with my workout schedule tho>and it’s in a field I genuinely care aboutwew lads also I’ve always wanted to try the dry sauna, what benefits have you noticed and am I supposed to bring my own towel or swimsuit or whatever?I’ve always been weirdly intimidated by the thing, but only because I don’t know stuff like that. It seems neat.
>>76719252Alright so my gym has both wet and dry sauna and I didn't know anything until I tried them out myself. QRD:>Dry sauna is a really fucking hot room, obviously, and the point is to draw the blood in your body outward toward the skin. After a workout this has benefits of pulling blood up through the muscles and other tissue to sweat at the rate you will be. You basically spend 10 minutes in there after a workout. You do need to have a swimsuit on or a towel to cover your waist. If your gym doesn't provide towels then yeah you'll need one. Would highly advise skipping it if you feel remotely dehydrated that day. Never felt warmer through the winters than when I consistently used sauna for circulation gains. Says a lot how much the Finns like them, for example.>Wet sauna is probably a meme to some degree but is a really cool experience imo. Significantly cooler than the dry sauna but still quite warm. Room fills to basically 0 visibility with this steam that kinda smells like menthol just a little. Feels like maybe it could be decent for your skin but honestly I just like to sit in there and meditate a bit if I'm the only one. It's all the best parts of just standing under the hot water in a shower and just thinking.
>>76719275This is exactly what I needed, thanks anon.Yeah it sounds comfy and circulation gains sounds breddy gud but I live in flawda so my life is already a wet sauna, I’m 99% sure my gym has a dry one.Does the dry one feel humid at all/ can you wear headphones if you wanted to?I’ve got both ADHD and insane anxiety so meditation is next to impossible for me.I’ve been trying to teach myself mindfulness and have been making SOME progress, but if I’m not distracted as fuck my brain just goes to some really dark places. Most of the time I just end up giving myself a panic attack.I miss when I thought they were fake.
>>76719286Dry sauna also helps conditioning for hot and humid weather too. The ability for blood to get more easily up to the surface keeps you cooler as well.The is essentially 0 humidity in the dry sauna and that's the point. If a bunch of wet people from the pool get in there that changes for a bit but the point is to be extremely dry. Your sweat needs to be able to evaporate. When it drips down onto the wood, you will see it evaporate in real time. That part alone is a nice meditation for me.Yes headphones are definitely allowed and I do see them sometimes if I go during the day but I'm not sure if it's bad for the hardware. There's always a thermometer in there so you could just look at that and then check the rating on your headphones if you're that kind of autist.I will say that the dry sauna absolutely forces a certain type of mindfulness. It's just so goddamn hot in there that your mind has to center itself to cope and then you kind of just stay there. Doing this in the sauna has actually increased my ability to call up that feeling in other situations so hopefully you get a similar experience, anon!
>>76719178thanks
>>76719178Lifts to attract women that look like this?
>>76719078>What time do you workout at the gym?Yes.
>>76719303Mane I am so jealous that you have a pool.Before my gym was a gym, it was a humble but fucking gigantic Winn Dixie, when I saw it getting converted after being empty (but not like, derelict) for years I was so pumped.They totally had room for a pool, but instead they put in tanning beds and hydromassage shit, and also a bunch of full body scanner doodads (not included with base membership).Swimming is my absolute favorite form of exercise, especially when on a cut.>back to the saunaNifty, yeah I was mostly wondering if it’d fuck up the hardware (headphones or phone, really).I’ll do some googlin’.Maybe I’ll be in the next thread raving about how the dry sauna cured my various neuroticisms, thanks again anon.
>>76719375Yeah, any time. Last comment on headphones, you'll probably need something over the ear or at least not a silicone/plastic earbud tip. You're going to sweat so much that they'll fall out constantly even if they'd be fine in the heat. Airpods, for example, are pretty bad choice for dry sauna. I know from experience kekIf you're earlymaxxing anyway, you could always get one of those extra durable mini Bluetooth speakers since you'll be in there on your own. One time I listened to a part of this autist's audiobook and ended up finishing it on my own later because it was bretty gud.
>>76719348Pick up your adderall prescription
I work 3 12 hour night shifts a week so I lift 2 AM to 3 AM on my days off. I do light cardio on my work days just to get some time in the sun, I really wish I had a pool because walking a couple of miles after being on my feet all day at work sucks.
>>76719078At 2pm. I kept getting raped in the locker room during night times.
>>76719078Saturday night when all the normgroids are fellating each other and sunday mornings
>>76719078Usually leave at midnight so 12:45 to about 1:30 depending on if I feel like walking or not.

>>76719178>>76719078How do I look like this as a 400 pound African American male?
>>76719078At the end of the day before I go to sleep. I've tried mornings, and I have a hard time waking up, no energy in the morning.
>>76719178God she's perfect
>>76719178>Small tits She just needs to eat more>Mentally unstableLost cause. Abandon all hope ye who thrust in there
>>76719094>>76719115>>76719252I need to bite the bullet and just go earlier. Otherwise, I usually don't end up going or slowly drag my ass to the gym. Very unproductive in terms of everything.
>>76719178Shes perfect...
>>76719178I love black haired, pale, small titted, mentally ill women so much bros.
>>76723570Personally, I've noticed that the hours between 3 and 5 am are always lost time. Doesn't matter if I get up early for it or stay up late or if it's somehow the middle of my day; I just kind of forget all about what happened during that time when "real morning" starts around 6 or 7.I like working out during the lost time because it doesn't ever feel like much. The time is lost to me anyway but I lifted and was productive. In a way it doesn't feel like I go to the gym at all.
I wake up a little before 6 am, make a coffee, eat a protein bar, and read for a bit. Then I go gym. Ideally this gets me in the gym by about 6:40 am but sometimes I dilly dally a bit.
>>76723505Why? All women are mentally unstable
>>76723759All women are mentally unstableBut some are more mentally unstable than others
>>76719078I try to lift at like 3 or 4 in the morning so I have the gym to myself and the traffic is really light for me to get there. Sometime in the 5 ok hour other people start showing up, but by that time I should be gone or at least in the shower.
Usually get there around 10pm. Friday is a weird scramble to find time to go because the gym closes at 10pm
