For those who train in the morning before eating..

[Back In Black]

I lift at 8am.

I eat 40g protein and 10g fat at 6.45am

My final meal the day/night before is carb heavy. In fact, I eat all my carbs post meridian.

Works well for me, no strength or energy drop off occurred when I stopped taking pre workout carbs.

that's cool! I heard most people complain about being stiff in the morning and it takes a while to loosen up. maybe this is more for old fogies like me. how do you compare it to evening workouts?

I'm more stiff in winter that's for sure, I'm not as old as you but still in my 40's so no young pup

I always used to train early afternoon because it was when I felt strongest as much as it fitting in with my life. When I made the change I never noticed a difference. Actually I did, but that was because I was trying to cram carbs into my pre workout meal and i never left enough time for it to settle. Once I'd dropped the carbs it was a breeze.

Now then, I do train at 8am it's true but I am out of bed 90 minutes before.

Added bonus, the gym is soooooo much quieter at that time of day
