Hi guys,

Quick background:
- Haven't hit the gym in over a YEAR! - lost a significant amount of muscle mass & size
- Hectic work schedule, usually FILO (First in, last out)
- There's no way I am able to find time after work to head to the gym

There's an Anytime fitness branch near my office and I thought of getting in workout before starting work.
The idea is to wake up circa 5.15 AM, and I should be at the gym by 6.30AM-ish
I am planning to dirty bulk, strength/ size training - so I will likely have a good serving of mass gainer afterwards.

My questions are:
1. What should/ can I eat before heading to the gym?
2. Are they any general dos and don'ts or any risks that I should be aware of since I'd be hitting the gym on a potentially empty stomach - with little or no sufficient time to digest food before working out?

Thanks!

Hey bud, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately coffee and pre-workouts don't work well for me. Caffeine makes me all bloated sad.gif
