im starving when i wake up

[br4v0]

whey with oats + blender = instant breakfast

[Khronos]

OJ + Raisins + Whey + NO then wait 30 mins.

Then sip on Whey/Xtend/carb source during workout. Works pretty good for me. You gotta get used to it though. PTing at 5am you get used to it.

[Brian McGee]

Arnie used to do it.

[Rusty Shackleford]

I tried lifting yesterday morning having only drank a red bull and eaten a banana

Holy **** was I weak as hell.

Did 3 sets of weighted dips, some chest presses, some pushdowns, skullcrushers, pull-ups and pull-downs and I was f*cked

Not recommended...

good idea, I'm just too lazy to clean the blender lol

i dont eat before i train 4am ,i take some bcca's and some coffee and iam good to go. i try to eat but feel to bloated to do anything and iam not going to sit around and wait 30mins or hour then go work out this way of training has help me so far maybe when i try to bulk i will try to shove food down my throat before a workout

[SCG]

I used to wake up at 4am and quickly eat a bowl of oats and down a shake before hitting the gym at 5. I couldn't imagine hitting the gym with nothing in me.

[Bollock-chops]

Teh ****? How else would you get energy to lift lulz?

[hu5tler]

Dont train without eating. The last time I did that I couldn't finish my set because I nearly passed out.

[ronski621]

well i misc til ****ing 5 am usually so i wake up around 1 or so, no time to eat, have to go to the gym asap and if i eat a full meal my pre-workout shake wont hit as hard so i usually just kill a banana and chug my shake on the way to the gym. bad cycle to be caught up in

What does manlet taste like and why should he eat more of it?

Because of a work schedule change, I've been "trying" to get to the gym at 4 am. The few times i did it, i had a bowl of oatmeal and NO Shotgun and was fine at the gym. When i got to work i would microwave a breakfast burrito I made the night before.

Unfortunately, I overslept my alarm, so I'm either gonna have to make it up at 4PM, and hope there is not a sign-up for the squat racks, or wait till 7pm and hope i can avoid the dude that keeps pushing juice on me

I workout at 5:30am and wake up at 4:50am on workout days. I have always worked out in the morning and have never done the pre-workout meal thing. I prefer the empty stomach feeling (no bloat, no nausea). I never have a problem with energy. If your daily nutrition is on point, you should be fine in the morning once you adjust to working out without a meal. Everyone should keep in mind that glycogen is stored glucose and is readily accessible to burn for fuel if your daily nutrition is on point. After my workout I do a post-workout meal and then eat every 3 hours until I go to bed.

But...to each his/her own. What ever works best for you, you should stick to it despite what anyone else suggests.

Same here.

[DerekSuds]

Heres an idea, cook chicken breasts in bulk (ie 6-10 at a time if you can) and just have leftovers every morning

Me too. That's why I use a coffee grinder for the oats. Never needs cleaning. I just grind the oats, then funnel them into an old gatorade bottle, funnel in some whey, squirt in a little honey. Boom, it's done.

[Elvisthegoalie]

i drink cassien before bed, sleep 6-7 hours, chug No-Xplode and hit the gym, works fine


because there's no f*cking way Im gonna get up an hour earlier (4AM) just to eat


i hit a shake post-workout on the drive to work, then have breakfast 45 minutes later

[ign_fan_4life]

Why not load up on the whole wheat bread and/or oatmeal + banana + whey mixed with milk? Here's a complete breakfast ready in less than 10 minutes...

[A_Hard_Rain]

whenever i have to lift early, i'll have a protein shake + a packet of oatmeal. usually gives me enough strength to get through a workout

[low blow]

Get a Dextrose + BCAA's + a bit of whey, should amp you up pretty good.

you can also get a rehydration mix (something like Gastrolyte) to quickly rehydrate you as well.
