Recently I had to switch my training hours up to accommodate my training partner so we went from training around noon to training at 5pm. Most people wouldn't think that's a big deal but I've been training around this time for almost 5 years now so my body has adapted and is primed to train at this time. I knew it would take some time to adjust and I was right, once 5pm rolled around I was exhausted but I had plenty of food in me so I wasn't too concerned about how I would perform and for the most part it was right on par. The biggest adjustment was food and sleep, thankfully I take a stim-free nootropic from
subjectzerosupps.com for pre workout so I was able to stay focused and I am a calm lifter so I don't need to come down from any high but I am still mindful so at the end of the workout I kick my feet up and breath/meditate for 10mins to calm down even more. I remember reading a few studies showing that once you got a routine down for 2-3 weeks everything gets back in tune and starts running optimally again so I wasn't worried but I was prepared and that is what is most important be prepared for the pitfalls so you can avoid them the best you can until your body adjusts to the new norm. Here is the study on morning versus afternoon training
