Default Re: The Fitness Thread

I am in this dilemma a lot because of the Sunday-Monday transition at my gym (Sunday has terrible hours, Monday opens at 12AM) so I'd like to know which is preferable

Scenario A: Lift and get shitty sleep (3-6 hours)

Scenario B: Don't lift, get OK sleep (7-8 hours) and lift the next day

The easy answer is to say "get good sleep and lift", but that's because it's the easy answer. I'm wondering which out of these two is better for gains and why.

Note that I have the option of sleeping extra (say, 10 hours) from Tuesday night --> Wednesday morning, so recovering isn't an issue.
