Training on empty stomach

[Pastor]

I have always eaten before working out; usually 2 scoops of whey 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 tea spoon of honey and 2 hours after i work out, but since am on this cutting cycle i switched to a small peace of chicken and 10 gr of rice . Yesterday i did not have time for digestion , had to get out of town early so i woke up at 3:45 am drank 2 cups of strong Cuban coffee and 20 mins after hit the gym, did back and biceps and 40 mins of cardio...felt so good and also felt the help for the cutting purposes; i did today again..i will keep it for the remaining of this cutting cycle, 3 weeks left. Do you ever train on empty stomach?

Always, never train with anything in you At least 2hrs before the gym

I train at 5 AM, I cant eat, I have 2 coffee's, and a scoop of pre-workout. When Im done, thats another story.
(I get up at 3:30 AM).
2 Bananas, Clif Bar on way to work, when I get there I have a salad or meal at 8 AM...

I agree as well. I can't train anyways with food in me.....especially cardio. I like to train fasted so I always train first thing in the AM.

I have to at least a snack or else I get hungry after a few sets and I feel like I'm losing size, LOL.. Sometimes I'll sip a Coke, which is probably why I get toe cramps.

I general wake up at 10 till 6. Only have coffee and then train. Usually don't finish up and eat till 10:30. IMO this burns a shit load of fat cause I can eat like garbage now and never gsin any fat.

Really the only thing I bring with me to the gym is a during workout drink and only on cardio days.

Yeah I'm not that advanced with my supplements yet, but I need to be esp on cycle. Dextrose, aminos, intra work out, etc.

Its just a real sim, ple drink that I put together myself with some BCAAs, glutamine, taurine, a little caffeine, and B-vits.

Why?

For blood flow.

For blood flow.

Was going to more -or-less give an answer similar, but not my thread, nor directed to me. But, yeah food calls for blood to make it's way to the stomach so.it can do.its job with the digestive process, and you want that blood "available" to working muscles, not digesting hoards of Food, I'm.sure a small meal, or something can't hurt, I almost always eat a little something. "However" I do not eat s large meal when doing larger muscle groups legs, back etc. An arm., Or shoulder workout, no biggie.. but food bogs me for legs and back moves .

First I've ever heard this. I've always tried to get in a meal 90 minutes before training. I'll try to time it more in the 2-3 hour range and see if I notice a difference. Thanks.
