I rarely miss a workout if they are in the morning. Later in the day however life sometimes gets in the way. A neurosurgeon friend told me a while back I should be exercising in the afternoon due to hormone optimization. His main concern was high cortisol in the morning. He also said something about testosterone but I can't remember. At any rate going forward I'm going to be keeping a close eye on workout time of the day with regards to hrv. This morning I did not workout and hrv was above average. I need more data though to figure out if this is an outlier.
IDGAF is unreal in a good way. It has been stronger in the past on other subs but more generalized than now. In the past IDGAF about ANYTHING. Now if anything I give more f***s about business, workouts, etc. I'm digging 3.1a. So far best sub I've used hands down.
Apparently, if you are in a normal circadian rhythm (i.e. in bed by 10:30 pm) on a regular basis, testosterone will be at it's peak production between 2:30 pm and 8:30 pm. This is the ideal window to work out in. Also, you can also look into "carb loading" to get an even bigger kick for test. and muscle growth. (I'm absolutely not an expert, but apparently minimizing carbs for lunch (less than 40 grams) and having them at supper after your workout will give you a nice boost)
You can also look up taking 6 - 10 mg of boron daily. I cant remember where I read it, but it apparently jacked test. by over 30% in the studies that were done with it.
Resistance training, HIIT, and intermittent fasting done properly will add to test. production also.
As always perform your own due diligence.
I'm on normal circadian rhythm. I only eat carbs with the last meal of the day. Schedule wise morning workouts make the most sense but working out before my last meal with the carbs would seem to optimize hormones. I am going to try to implement the afternoon workout. If I find I can't make it work I'll just have to go back to mornings.
