Anyone notice a big difference when training non-fasted compared to fasted? I've always training first thing in the morning and usually fast for a few hours afterwards. The downsides to this are my reps on latter sets always drop off.
I had a pre-workout meal before I trained earlier and felt so much stronger. It was very noticable, particularlly how quickly I recovered after each set and I felt I could have done another workout after I finished.
I may just be having an awesome workout but I'm courious if anyone else has noticed a big difference? I'm moving offices in a few weeks and might start training lunchtime instead.
I mean, it probably isn’t that surprising, but eating more is going to give you more energy. That said, it does surprise me sometimes how much better/stronger I feel when I hammer the calories. It isn’t even something I plan, there are just days where I won’t have eaten as much.
I’m eating pretty normally at the moment and my strength and body weight have dipped, but I know that when I start back in work next week and have full cooked breakfasts, huge lunches with big sugary desserts, my strength will skyrocket.
One thing I have cut out though is a protein shake before a workout d just stick to a preworkout mix now.
Interestingly, when off work I don’t have much for breakfast and even if I train heavy I can still workout efficiently in the morning as long as I have eaten lots the day before.
