hey guys im switchin my lifting workouts for in the morning around 6 am and im cutting... would it be a bad idea to lift wieights on empty stomach or should i consume a simple carb or somthing to give me some quick energy?
someone could please answer tonight would be great cus i start my morning workouts tommorow morning
NOT on empty stomach...at least a quick couple of scoops of protein w/a piece of fruit for energy, for sure.
how long do i need to wait after that meal b4 i can lift?.. should i wait like an hour.
will the fruit be bad if im cutting?
About one hour(if it's a shake), your body will burn that fruit off during training.And remember,you need carbs while cutting.They are the fuel to the fire.Quote:

This depends on the time of the a.m. session.. and it's proximity to my waking. If it's like an hour or more after waking i'll have a protein shake and a small amount of fruit.. or some complex carbs.
If it's within 15-30 minutes after waking this what i do:
The day prior, i make sure i've maximised my post-workout nutrition so my glycogen's topped up.
The night prior i may have a pro-carb meal before bed.
Wake.. go to the gym.. train on an empty stomach... hit my pwo meal post-workout.
whenever i try to train in the morn .... i almost always yak .... even if i have protein or fruit b4 ... my body doesnt respond to liftin heavy ass weights that early in the morn
thanks alot everyone ... only workout in the morning 2 times a week soo i guess that lil bit of fruit isnt going to kill my cutting diet
