So I have went back to lifting early in the mornings. I use to do that for years and I never ate breakfast or anything before my workout, just got up at 5am and hit the gym, then I would come home and have a big breakfast and a protein shake. I never could stand lifting right after I ate, however some nutritionist fuck (from another site) ridiculed me for it and said I was hurting myself and I needed to eat first. So I changed and ate breakfast before going to the gym, I think I felt better after a while....maybe a little more energy from the carbs.
So my question is, is there any particular benefit to lifting first thing on an empty stomach. I'm not really trying to get any bigger, just maintain my current muscle volume and drop some body weight.
Anybody else do this??
