Morning training

[CarbonfiberOG]

How many train early in the morning? And how many train on an empty stomach? I seem to have found my routine works better in the early morning, wake up, drink a glass of water, if I am super hungry I will eat a boiled egg or something and then head to the center. I rarely get fatigued and it seems my body responds better with little food during the workouts. Once I get back in my car I have a shake waiting and some homemade bars to snack on until I get home. It also seems to help line out my rest of the day.

When I'm home on my days off i prefer morning training. I like to get up and eat my overnight oats. Then train about 1-1.5 hours later. Followed by a Sola bagel and shake after my workout.

Glycogen stores filled from day before.

It also makes me feel like its the first accomplishment of the day. Its good to start the day with a win.

I'm a morning person. I've been doing my cardio in the mornings, around 7am but I haven't found that food intake before or after really makes a difference for me. I will sometimes have a glass of grape juice for a longer cardio session just for some quick fuel and to keep me from going flat. For me, I've found fruit juice to be the cheapest and most effective form of quick burn carbs.

I read a study on how the body cleans/restores itself while you sleep, the study showed also that the process wasnt complete until several hours after waking up. So it was best to let the body finish its work before you introduced new foods into it.

Bottom line is you use glycogen from storage, not the meal an hour before training for fuel. Some people can't comprehend this. The only time it is advantageous is when doing extreme endurance training which is NOT us.

Some people like training on an empty stomach while others don't.

Train when you want. Get your daily macros in. End of story.

I train early so I can help my wife get my daughter ready for school and get a workout in before work. I reserve my afternoons and evenings for my family, but I would probably workout in the morning anyway after years of mandatory morning physical training.

I like a shake when I first wake up. I do 1 scoop of protein powder, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup black coffee, 10g creatine, 1 banana, 1 tbsp honey.

I only do 1/2 scoop of intra eaa/ carbs during my workout.

Post workout I have 1/2cup cream of rice, 156g mixed berries, 2 tbsp honey, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 2 tbsp pbfit.

Non-workout/ cardio days are different. Fasted cardio and a lower carb post workout meal with eggs and oatmeal.
