Today’s question comes from Troy by email. Here it is:
“Hi Adam –
You mention your love of yoga and martial arts in a recent video. I’ve been a martial artist since I was seven years old. I started lifting weights two years ago, and I’ve very recently started Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 program.
I’m taking yoga next semester. (For college credit!)
What have you found is a good time to do yoga in conjunction with 5/3/1? Would you do a strength workout and yoga on the same day or should I do yoga and karate on off days?
Thanks!
– Troy”
Thanks again for the question, Troy!

Thank you so much for replying I have one more timing question.
My yoga class will meet Mondays and Wednesdays at 2 p.m. On Mondays, it will be no problem lifting in the morning and practicing yoga in the afternoon.
On Wednesdays, I work from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., so I don’t have time to work out in the mornings. (I would if the gym opened earlier than 6 a.m. 🙁 ) Would I be too drained for yoga if I just did Wendler’s main lift and maybe some chins right before yoga?
Just wondering if you have further insight. This is something i can find out for myself.in August. 🙂
Here you go, Troy!
