I used to lift after work.  This was a drag.  Get home, get changed, try to get motivated and get some energy.  I had consistency problems and was not getting much in the way of results.  Now, I lift in the morning, usually starting before 7am.  The family is still asleep when I hit the gym (my basement).  I have a glass of water and a (16oz) workout beverage, consisting of 5g of BCAA, 25g of WPC, and 25g of carbs.  I sip this through the first half of my workout.  This works pretty well, as I don’t have time to eat (and digest) before lifting.

I put on some music, usually funk or R&B, and get it going.  Some stretching and 10 minutes of power walking (5.5mph) to get the blood pumping, then it’s time to hit the weights.  On my lifting days, I go about an hour and a half.  When I’m done, the hardest part of my day is behind me, and I feel like I can do anything.  When I get to work I’m on top of the world.  Consistency is no longer a problem.  I am completely motivated and am bursting with enthusiasm.
