@Chieflrg 'most brickies'... Most... Lol. Not me. My dad is a chronic 'bite of a sandwich, another 10 minutes work. Bite....' I'm going to be making sure I'm hitting my calories and I know my boss is ok with it so I'm sure I'll be ok... What is Wendler's?

So here is an update @ATK11 @asflatasapancake @StrongAsFuarkBear @allaboutthecake @mostwhimsicalchap @FitBeto I started getting up at 6am and am enjoying being up early and am getting into a good routine. I managed to chest 100lb dumbbells for a couple sets of 6 which is good since I have taken a good 5 or 6 weeks off of…

Thanks for advice @mostwhimsicalchap . I went today at 7:00 and tomorrow will aim to be up and gone by 6:30. It wasn't as bad as I thought, and that with a bad nights rest due to our 5 month old baby crying at 1:30 hour intervals... So yeah, hopefully I get into a good routine. But it definitely wasn't as bad as I had…

Also, do those of you who lift early in the day find it better to eat before or after your workout?

Thanks for all of the replies. It's good to see that I'm not the only one who will be doing this and that you guys have had success @ATK11 @asflatasapancake @StrongAsFuarkBear. Most of the stuff I kinda figured would be necessary like fueling up, stretching etc... And as you put @allaboutthecake I will be doing probably…

Also in addition, I would greatly appreciate any training tips, nutrition and stretching tips for working out early, ie. to avoid injury etc...

When I lived in the uk this ex army body builder told me that he bought tins of mackerel bits, he sad it wasn't particularly tasty or pleasant to look at but was super cheap and crammed with protein... I forget what they were exactly. But they weren't the choicest pieces of fish...

In addition to my reply above, try setting your app up so that you are having one gram of lean body mass. Or add 1 gram of protein for every pound of your target weight, ie, mine is to be 190lbs right now so I have my nutrition details set up to about 200+grams of protein since I have an above average job activity and also…

Tuna is a good source of protein and with half a cup of rice it shouldn't cost and arm and a leg to make a healthy lunch. Throw in beans, lentils etc... Also tahini (sesame peanut butter practically) is really good for fats and protein.
