I still don't understand why someone would lift fasted. Can someone start a thread on this? The whole idea of not having food in my stomach freaks me out.I lift fasted. Dont eat til after.
Yumm! I've been eating A LOT of Sam's Club 90% lean burgers. They're 4oz and I take 2 with a whole wheat bread and 2 slices of fat free cheese. Over 60 grams of protein and taste AWESOME!Oatmeal and Whey protein
Or
Extra lean burger on wholegrain buns and fruit smoothie

Can someone show me a guy who is 220 plus and trains fasted? Please (not being a diiiick)
Start a mother fcuking thread :cop: or find me one, lolI know a couple of the old USP guys trained fasted, kind of where I first got the idea from Snagency and Muletsolider both did bunches of post on the subject and our very own David Dunn (board admin) used to have a journal on the boards and trained fasted.
Did you want me to try and dig up some old school bodybuilders or strong man that trained fasted? Remember this may seem new to a lot of people, IF is doing a great job of popularizing this, but this practice, idea, and theory has been around for a long time.
My friend and longtime training partner is over 300 and usually lifts fasted. Hell, he barely gets in 3000kcals consistently. He just doesn't like food that much. Yes, he's a genetic freak and I hate him for it.Can someone show me a guy who is 220 plus and trains fasted? Please (not being a diiiick)
I did.it gets expensive, who said can chicken ?
Please do. I am kinda wanted to try this whole fasted training thing. It would work better for me since I workout early in the day.I will post pics up some day. I usually wake up at 5 and at the gym by 5:45-6. I have been doing it for years and never had a problem reaching whatever goals I have set.
Check out lean gains. I train fasted as well with the consumption of bcaa's.Can someone show me a guy who is 220 plus and trains fasted? Please (not being a diiiick)

I do on sip bcaas though throughout the the afternoon and intra workout.I still don't understand why someone would lift fasted. Can someone start a thread on this?

I can eat a big ass meal and hit the gym 30 mins later with no problem. In high school we used to eat some chicken in the middle of out workouts lol I agree with the BCAA pre, intra and postIve played with different timing and macros for a pre workout meal and no matter what I do I get sick to my stomach.

It's a personal preference thing, really. I have trained fasted and unfasted - unfasted moreso in my cycling days, when I would chuck several thousand calories down and immediately go our training or race. Nowadays if I'm doing 2-a-day training sessions, I will have had some meals before my second session, but I generally try and make that at least 2-4 hours after eating food. I definitely prefer to train fasted (whether my training is only an hour or ~4 hours), on an empty stomach, first thing, because I feel a whole lot better for it, and whether I train fasted or unfasted honestly makes no difference to my performance (except if I have food in my stomach, I will often feel nauseous throughout my training) or results re progress and goals.I still don't understand why someone would lift fasted.

Im in the same boat Rosie. I tell no difference between fasted and something in the tank as far as performance goes. I never get nauseated or light headed or anything of that sort. I kind of feel like my breakfast is better utilized when I train fasted. May or may not be psychological but I feel like why change anything if things are going well? Im glad im not an oddball and there are others that train fasted.It's a personal preference thing, really.

I'm 258 and lift fasted. Well not really fasted, I sip on Purple Wraath.Can someone show me a guy who is 220 plus and trains fasted? Please (not being a diiiick)
Each to their own, bud. Just do what's right for you and don't worry about what anyone else is doing.Thanks for all the comments on training fasted. I used to do cardio fasted and feel like Shti after not to mention I looked like I weighed only 180 pounds... I started drinking 30 grams WPI and after an hour of cardio I still look full and pumped. I still wanna try weight training fasted just to see if there's a difference in pump
^ This 100%!Each to their own, bud. Just do what's right for you and don't worry about what anyone else is doing.
