Best Time Of Day for Muscle Gain Workouts

By Sean Nalewanyj

When is the best time to schedule your muscle gain workouts during the day?

A lot of people say that you should workout as soon as you wake up because you’re still fresh from a long night’s rest.  Some people say that you should workout later during the day because your body is more awake.

The truth is that it’s entirely a matter of personal preference, and the best time for your muscle gain workouts is up to you.  Everyone’s body clock works differently.  Some people like to train early in the morning, and yet others prefer to schedule their training towards the evening.  The good news is that you should base your workout on your preferences.

The fact is that by scheduling your muscle gain workouts based on your personal body clock, you stand to reap the maximum benefits.  Personally, I train at around 7 pm because I’m just not a morning person; besides, I find it almost impossible to exert so much of effort early in the morning.  I become nauseated when I train too early, and I think my strength levels are higher in the evening than in the morning.


But that’s only me.

You might prefer to do your muscle gain workouts in the morning when you’re rested and refreshed.  No matter when you train, just remember to take your pre- and post-workout nutrition.  This will ensure that your muscles recover quicker and that your muscle gain workouts more efficient.

You need to provide your body with food and fluids after your muscle gain workouts, because this affects your body’s ability to recover from the stress it has been placed under as a result of the workout.  This crucial period of three to four hours is when you need to pay special attention to nutrition to maximize the process of recovery.

It’s really simple: when you perform your muscle gains workouts doesn’t matter as long as you set aside enough time afterwards for proper post-workout nutrition.  For example, if you schedule your workout too late at night, you won’t have sufficient time to eat and digest all the recommended foods before you call it a night.  So, to allow sufficient time for post-workout nutrition, there should be a gap between your workout and bedtime.

Keeping in mind that you need to sleep for at least seven to eight hours every night, you shouldn’t be working out at 10 pm, no matter how active you feel at that time, unless you can sleep in to until 10 am next morning.

I’ve seen people performing their muscle gain workouts at 9 pm, heading home for a small meal and some water, and then hitting the sack.  They’re doing the wrong thing.

If you’re serious about your muscle gain workouts, you need to drink lots of water eat a solid meal, and allow at least three to four hours for complete post-workout nutrition.  Don’t be so eager to go an eight hour fast soon after your workout, you’ll only hinder your progress.
