If I had time to workout twice a day I would probably try to do some cardio in the morning and save my lifting for the evenings. I’ve heard you can burn more fat if you do your cardio in the morning before you’ve eaten since you’ve already bee fasting, and that it’s not necessarily a good thing to do loaded exercises in the morning because the discs in your spine are filled with water.

I train twice a day almost every day.  In order to perfect a movment its necessary to practice that movement very frequently.

Training twice a day also allows for significantly more volume than once per day.

I could do twice as much if not more volume in two workouts a day. This is a huge benefit to training twice a day.

That article is wrong, absolutely wrong.  Not about  the two workouts a day, but about what should be in them.  Athletes training twice a day hurt in the morning, it is hard or almost impossible to do the “competitive”  movements  at a high level.  Look at the training programs of Olympic lifters, track athletes, and others.  Morning workouts are are normally light,  or at least low skill exercises.  At California Strength we normally lift lighter in the morning.  At the Olympic training center under both Dragomire and Paul, they did pulls and other low skill strength exercises in the morning, and the competitive lifts in the afternoon or evening.

This is normal.  And it is the opposite of what this article says
