First Post
Hello everyone! My name is Craig - I have been following this forum for a while, but this my first post. I have been lifting weights on and off for almost 30 years but have only been training with kettlebells for a few months. I have just recently gotten serious about achieving Simple and have a session scheduled with an SFG II in a little over a week.
While I have never been a morning person, I find that if I practice first thing in the morning, I tend to be more consistent with my training. I just listened to the podcast featuring Dr. Stu McGill. In the podcast he cautions people about working out in the morning using a heavy load, especially as you age (granted, I am only 46). For those of you that train in the morning, I am wondering what everyone's experience is? Has anyone had any issues? Do you warm-up differently? Are you more focused on really owning a certain weight before progressing to a heavier weight? I currently incorporate McGill's Big 3 into my warm-up, but am curious if I should be doing anything else to help prevent potential injury.
