Hello Strongfirst-Community,
I am wondering if anyone experienced the same:
Due to tough time schedule, I tried to do my workouts early in the morning – maybe 10 min. after getting up and 20 min. after waking up (maybe this makes a difference), no breakfast before just one coffee.
My workouts are mainly swing/push-up or plank combos, sometimes swings and TGUs (S&S style, meaning max. 10 rep sets swings)
My problem is, I think I have very poor movement in the morning, meaning swings not crisp, little power regardless of the excercises – it just feels not right.
(my warm-up is some very basic joint mobility and the warm-up from S&S, exactly as written)
Therefore, I stopped the early morning workouts, because I don`t think it`s a good idea to load poor movement with weigth.
Has anyone discovered the same?
If someone does early morning workouts, is there any “special” warm up?
Another question, a little bit more medical. (English is not my native language, but I hope I can describe what I mean J)
In a newspaper I read recently that in the mornings after getting up, the intervertebral discs are full of some fluid (what is positive and should be), but for this they are softer and maybe a little bit more fragile due to this.
Therefore, risk of injury is supposed to be higher when performing excercises under load.
What do you think? Is there something true in this?
Due the above mentioned points, I stopped early morning kettlebell workouts and are just doing nothing or maybe a little bit joint mobility, stretching and kettlebells in the eventing if I can manage from my work schedule to do so.
Hope some comrades here have some tips or share their experience …
Stay strong,
