What to Eat???

[shane]

I work till midnight come home sleep the up about 0630 and the train at at the gym at 0730. What should I eat before I train to give me some energy to power through my weights workout?? Have been just having 2 weetbix and a protien shake then a proper meal and more protien after the workout. This early morning routine will only be for 3 months. I also notice i am not A as strong as when I train in the afternoons. What do you guys think????

thats because in the arvo you have been carbing up over the day... in the morning your running on empty

Oats, a big bowl, with a banana in it and your protein shake. Also a strong coffee will prob help but i assume your already doing that. I find im not as strong if i lift within a hour and a half of waking up partly lower blood sugar, partly cns. Maybe look into some kind of pre workout supplement if you got spare coin, the last sample of n.o shotgun i tried kicked my ass.

It's hard training in the morning. Like the guys said have oats,protien.

You could try walking or cycling to the gym, this will get blood pumping in your body and warm you up enough for a training session.

Same problem mate.. cant train in the morning.. just not enough carb and water in the body, still sleepy.

However, was reading Arnold's encyclopedia and he has a paragraph advising lifters that the best time to lift is the morning... anyone know his email so we can confirm his pre work out meal ?

He said it a few times, DBol the breakfast of champions! Now mix that in your oats and you'll have no problems boys and sheboys LOL I find cardio is all I can do mornings and leave the weights till avo.
