I think it will work fine, once you get your body used to lifting in the mornings. I personally don’t prefer it (I like to lift after my running sessions) - and felt morning lifting was harder (my weights were probably doen 5%+ when lifting in the morning) but didn’t feel like it inhibited my PM sprints and plyos that dramatically.
How are you able to train soo much with a full time job, kids, wife etc?
LOL! It is hard - but really managing around priorities. I’d say I train just shy of 10 hours per week - and do it all either at the begining or end of my work day (IE - 5:30-7:00 AM or 5-6:30 PM). I try to be in the office/with clients from 7-5 on days I have evening workouts or 8-6 on days with morning workouts.
I probably sacrifice my training quality to some degree getting as much training work in as I do in such limited time. I work through lunch. I do a lot of early morning and late evening work from home on the weekends. Still manage to get home for dinner whenever I’m in town, get the kids ready for and into bed, spend the weekends with the family.
Plus my wife is awesome, and even though she rolls her eyes at me when I get ready for meets, she tolerates it. (It’s either this or golf, you know?) And I don’t come home from track meets smelling like booze and cigars
