I do both. I get up at 4:30am to do cardio for an hour before work then in the evenings I lift for an hour before I get
home from work.
I have much more energy for my AM workouts.

The big problem for me is hunger.

Wow, are you going to sleep in the next half hour? I could never get up that early regularly.

I'm usually in bed by 9:30. Can't make gains if you don't get enough sleep

When do you Netflix and chill?

Easy - just do it after you spend time with your family/put kids to bed.

Anything after 9:00 is too late for me. I guess i'm just a morning guy.

I can't fall asleep if I work out before bed. And can't take preworkout that late at night

Same. I honestly think it boils down to whether you’re an “early bird” or “night owl”.

This is probably the answer. I'm a night owl.
