Lifting in the morning

[DCB83]

I'm thinking about lifting in the morning. What would you recommend i eat right before? Something quick and easy...
And what are thoughts on lifting in the morning vs evening?

[*RAGE*]

I eat a can of tuna and a hand full of oats before I go....

I don't lift in the morning because I lose strength on all my lifts...

Grits and eggs IMO. 1/4 cup of grits with 3/4 cup of water, toss in microwave for 4 min. In the meantime cook up some eggs, however many you need, and mix together for a quick and easy meal. Make sure you use a big enough tupperware for the grits b/c it boils up pretty high. Or just make a shake...

egg whites and oatmeal!

[DCB83]

I usually grind up some oatmeal, throw in some liquid eggwhites and a little skim milk as my pre wo shake. Drinking it and then training about 15 mins later wouldnt make sense would it? I would need like 30-40 mins to digest...

yea, I only use one shake a day PWO and feel bad about it. I have tried the eggs and get hungery as hell before the workout is over that why I went with the tuna...

some days I go for a solid oatmeal, follow by thick shake or scrambler that is a combination of potatoes, eggs, onions, tomatoes, and pepper cheese scramblled with a little bit of susages on it. lol
that will set me right till well in the afternoon. lol

Eggs/oats.

But like said above morning worksouts suck for me. I am always weaker in the morning. I need at least 3-4 hrs after waking up to be fully ready for an early workout.

Grits and eggs for me, but i prefer to workout in the evening.

[Chitown Raider]

I cook 8 egg whites, and drink a 12 oz. Serious mass it's good a good filler for the entire workout.

[Chode Logan]

I find I'm borderline useless if I go within 3 hours of waking and with less than two meals down the hatch.

[stack_it]

I can't function in the morning I would be wasting my time if I went early.

[higherdesire]

I work out at 7:30 every morning. I drink 1 cup oats, 2 scoops whey, 1 cup eggwhites, 1 cup milk, 2 tbs strawberry quick at 7:10. Never have trouble with energy or getting hungry.

i use to lift in the morning right after my first meal. currently i train around 7-8 and find my wkouts to be much more productive with 5-6 meals already taken in. i would try both and decide what works best for you

[jbm]

I lift her every morning!
