    No but if I eat before a workout opposed to not eating I always get a much better pump.

    My big difference I notice is the day after a big cheat meal I get bigger pumps and more energy...most likely from all the processed carbs from pizza, pasta, or whatever I ate.

    it's also good for the mind to let go and relax once in a while too...

    I used to work out first thing in the morning on about half a pot of coffee. I definitely notice a better pump in the gym when I eat first. I don't burn out as quickly either.

    Here are my steps to a great workout:

    1. Full Breakfast of Eggs and Oat

    2. All you can eat chinese buffet or Huge bowl pasta

    3. 2-3 hours poolside, with a little catnap and plenty of T/A to stare at.

    4. Quick pretrain meal and a little creatine/no2/gatorade combo

    Great pumps, energy, everything.

    I go low carbs throughout the week, and bottom out my glycogen levels. the day before my weight workout week begins, i have a carb up.....yesterday it was 600 grams of carbs from white rice, and about 2 jars of marinera, and some waxy maize, totalling about 900 grams of carbs.....odly, I still almost feel like it was'nt enough. I woke up feeling tight, and I dont even feel like I am holding much water. usuallly though, the workouts after a day like that are ****en amazing.

    I workout at night after a day of eating many times throughout the day. I usually feel strong and get good workouts in. When I workout in the morning, I usually feel weak and unmotivated. I chalk it up to the food I eat throughout the day, carbs and protein and lots of coffee.
