Oddly enough, when the weight gets aggressive I don’t think about any of the reps. I get under the bar and start moving it. Seeing as starting is the hardest part, if I don’t think about XXXlbs it seems to work out.

This was timely. I've had a crappy week, so when I showed up at the gym at 5am yesterday to squat I just really wasn't feeling it. Warm ups were hard, slow and clunky and by the time I got to the work sets I had contemplated just packing it up and going back to bed for another hour before work. But having read this piece just a day before I told my self to just put it on my back and give it one rep. And then one more rep. And then one more. By the time I got the third set it was just like any other session.

I have tried a few times lately to do my workout in the early AM, before work. Requires waking up at six. I have found my strength level is just not up to par at that time. Essentially it feels like it takes twice as long to get warmed up. By the time i have finished my typical warmup as described in the blue book, i still feel tired and week, and the first set can barely move. Whereas going during lunch or after work, i just feel so much warmer and looser, and energetic. This sucks because in the near future I'm really going to basically have to do early AM workouts if i want to stick with my program, so I'm looking for a way i can improve this.Originally Posted by LimieJosh

Practice.
However, if it is the only time you can reasonably train it really doesnt matter if you would perform better at another time of the day.
