Comment posted on Eat THIS before your workouts by Ty
Great advice regarding training on empty versus training after eating something for achieving different results. Currently I am trying to build mass and I have a protein shake about 30 minutes before gym and another one immediately after. I have been doing some reading on the consumption of amino acid stacks and testosterone supplements and I was wondering if you have taken any and what were your expectations and experiences.

I must commend the excellent shape you are in mate, and for your age too. Keep it up! I have to say that from my experience too the most satisfying moments are when you look in the mirror, see the definition and when the other chaps in the gym ask you how you did it you reply with ‘nothing but steel!’ No supplements, No drugs, just selective meal taking and hard work. I am interested in your EODD as to how that pizza still works towards making me lean. Will check it out. - What Not To Do In The Gym
I love the comments. @ Solly D, now I see that I am not being difficult in insisting on personal hygiene! Nothing worse than having to inhale the foul odors of another individual while you are about to take that deep, much needed breath before that last but one rep before failure. I love working out, but this really annoys the hell out of me. Brush your teeth/chew some gum! Use deodorant! Wear clean gear! Its not that hard!!

For my morning cardio, I usually hop out of bed, drink a creatine supplement and get to working out. Immediately after I’ll have a protein shake followed by a light breakfast after I shower.
I try to have a protein shake about 30 minutes before I do weights in the evening.
I agree that less solid food is probably better before any kind of high intensity cardio. I can’t push as hard with something heavy on my stomach.
Currently, I train twice a day, morning and evening. I have a pre workout shake before my am workouts (about 90 minutes) and one immediately following my workout. Then a breakfast meal about 45 minutes after that.
that’s what I do CURRENTLY.
at different times, I train on an empty stomach, in a fasted state.
It depends on my goals.
I find that I train much harder with food, and get leaner without food. They both have their place. It depends on your goals
Hey man, been reading this blog as I’ve started exercising to lose weight, it’s really inspirational.
I’m just wondering how you reduced the appearance of your stretchmarks? You mentioned it in your ‘How I lost 300 pounds’ section and I can’t find your solution? I’ve got a few of them and I’m worried that once I get myself ripped I’ll not have the confidence to show anyone because of them.
