Morning Meal before AM workout?

[heavyhitter08]

Hey brother, looking at your avatar, you are a freaking beast - that is some serious mass, and your lower back looks great. I was chubby when I was a kid (started exercising and dieting at 17) and lost most of my fat within a year but I have never been able to lose the stubborn little fat left around my "love handles" and lower abs. I'm envious. At any rate, your a.m. meal just needs to consist of quality protein and complex carbs. Eggs and oatmeal are a good choice, but so is a quality shake that has both. Just make sure you give yourself 45 to 60 mins to digest it so that you can take advantage of the energy and stop your fasting from sleep the night prior. When you say fast carbs, if you're referring to simple carbs, I personally think that taking them in is only useful during the workout so that you're using those carbs before they can be stored. Taking in sugar just before doing a set of resistance training, for example, proves to lend some extra energy in burst form.

Thanks BB!! ya dude, it took lots of hard work and lower back lifts to essentially cut down on those stubborn love handles. Lots of it looks so tapered is b/c of the lats, so keep widening them cobras! I have myself a nice little challenge myself to get back to that shape b/c i really let myself go there lol.

hmmmm, ya i think i'm going to do the shake approach for now and see how it goes. I really just want to wake up, down something and get to training within 20mins. I am training early, so those 60 mins is useful sleep time
