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!
My advice if you're training so early. The night before you sleep, eat a carb meal. Simple one will do and ofcoz keep it clean like boiled/roasted sweet potatoes or oatmeal. Then morning, drink BCAA's before you train to prevent muscle loss and have a some plain oatmeal or bread with peanut butter something like that. After working out, have your second breakfast along with a protein shake if you're consuming it. You don't need protein shakes imo if you can eat whole foods to cover your daily protein needs but it's a nice convenient option. Quick background:

I used to feel weak and not focussed if I train in the mornings after I wake up but I find that this method helps me out and I'm able to perform my regular strength training programs even things like heavy squats and deadlifts in the a.m.
