Certainly many athletes train in the morning and progress; that does not mean that they would not make more progress if they lifted later in the day. They lift in the morning due to scheduling, not because it is the ideal time for heavy weight training.

Would you really say it makes a difference in the grand scheme of things? I’ve lifted very early in the morning and made progress, and I’ve lifted at 3 in the afternoon and also made progress. It was far more comfortable to lift later in the day, but to me it really doesn’t seem to matter compared to all the other more important things out there. [/quote]
How ‘Grand’ is the scheme? The things we do in our training compound over time. Like I mentioned in my first reply…it depends on how close you are to your genetic potential. If you only plan to comptete for four or five years; in your case during your ‘prime-time’ years(17-23), I believe you are correct to say there are more important considerations. If you plan to compete for a lifetime; you will eventually have to maintain tighter control over all your training variables to progress. What I COULD do at 28 is different than what I MUST to do at 48. Your raw numbers are impressive; based on your bodyweight and frame size I suspect you could have many good years ahead…I look forward to hearing about it!!

I really appreciate that. I’ve seen your threads and I can respect your accomplishments. I know I’m nothing special right now but I hope to be something one day!
