Do you guys eat before you workout?

fukk that. Try going low carb and then training legs first thing in the morning.

Every time I did that shyt I almost died.

Or try benching 265 on an empty stomach without a spotter...while only weighing 160

I do it two days a week. Wake up, drink a glass of water, go to the gym and work out.

Bench 275 for reps without taking an ounce of anything to eat in the morning before going to the gym. And I weight about 180. Your body has WAY more than enough stored energy from the food you've already eaten. You're probably in a mental thing of thinking you have to eat beforehand. You don't literally have to.

Probably. But the mind is a muthafukka. That's why placebos usually work and why people swear they need pre-workout to get the best sessions.

I eat yogurt, a banana, and a protein bar before every workout.

Only because its hard for me to workout once I become hungry...ill fuk around and just walk out the gym.

 

[El Guapo]

Not in the morning because I’m still full from the night before, but yes for any workouts late afternoon and night.

This. As long as I drink enough water before I'm normally good.

Same, one thing though legs fasted is pretty tough lol

 

[Formerly known as...]

If I train in the morning I have 2 bananas and glass of water that's it. If I train after work then i am fueled by the food I have eaten throughout day.

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

I JUST LISTEN TO MY BODY OF WHEN I EAT WHETHER BEFORE A WORKOUT OR NOT.

 

[Panther]

I usually do a banana and water

 

[Yinny]

In the morning, no

In the evening, yes but something on the lighter side

 

[BrehWyatt]

Not me. Fasted morning workouts.

Every time I've eaten before a workout, I've damn near vomited during the workout.

Granted, my choices weren't the best in those instances, but never again

 

[Da_Eggman]

Depending on the time

If I can go straight early I might do just some protein powder in water just to get something in the stomach

For me I gotta have both breakfast AND Lunch to get a decent workout, sometimes I can get away with strength training on only Breakfast but I won't have enough energy for Cardio.


Also on average I sleep 12 hours a day and have trouble getting out of bed in hot, humid weather. Today I didn't get out of bed until 1PM, ate lunch, went to the gym, strength training went well but I struggled with Cardio Wanted to run a mile in 10 minutes but got tired around the 4 or 5 minute mark and did incline for the other 5 minutes. Wanted to do least 5 minutes on the stair stepper but got tired around 3 minutes


it bums me when I struggle with cardio I generally feel better when Cardio goes well and I meet my goals for that particular gym session.
