Time of day?
I fight, but I also have to have a day job, like most people.
So I can't just take the whole day to train for weeks or over a month before a fight, I have to fit it in with a full time job and a son.
Do you find that a certain time of the day is better for you???
I like to get my workouts in as early in the morning as possible, seems to work best for me and actually gets me pumped for working all day.

Managable, but I would get rid of the son and the job, work a part time shift, and live in the gym. Makes more sense. Have your priorities straightened first man. |

Train in what time works for you, but when you train, train hard. If you push yourself to the edge in training, then the time really doesn't matter that much.
I find that people train when they're comfortable. I run in the mornings and spar in the afternoons, and that works for me.
I would suggest going to the gym twice a day, maybe once in the evening, but that really depends on what you can do. I don't have to juggle a kid, so it may be a little more complicated.

I have 2 kids, whom are way more important than mma. Get that said first. But i also have a wife and a full time job that is physically stressful. I train in the evenings, and on the weekends. I train hard, real hard. My warm up is harder than some peoples whole routine

I'm exactly the same. I have two kids and a wife who are the most important things in my life. Both of my kids train in Chito-Ryu Karate with me (they both are orange belts now) and when they get a bit older I'm going to get them to start training in hapkido as well.
I also train in the evenings and on the weekends because that works best for me. I used to train in the mornings but that was too tough for me to pull off - for some reason, getting up at 4:30 AM lost its appeal to me after a while. Anyway, my Hapkido and Karate classes are in the evenings as well and its not good to yo-yo back and forth with early nights and late nights. It screws up your circadian rhythm too much. |
