Working out on empty stomach

[75th]

I still think it would be interesting to see guys who are on gear and/ or compete try the IF..say for a contest prep and see what happens.

I'm sure youve seen some write ups on the leangains site about Martin training some folks for comps, right?

I can't work out on an empty stomach-I would suggest grabbing a quick bowl of cereal or a shake or something on the way into the gym. That way you wont have a completely empty stomach and your metabolism will get a jump start.
When looking at cardio, do anything to get your heart rate up! Maybe hop on a bike, jumprope, a couple of laps around the track, or something like that on your lifting days. Then maybe on wednesdays do some hard core circut training or a couple of mile run.
Good luck, keep your head up. Getting into it is the hardest part but after your over that hump you'll have a routine down and do great.

Okay but I wanna see those pics of you 75th I could probably workout 1 body part a day on a fasted state but my split looks like this

Day 1: chest back abs
Day 2: bis tris delts traps obliques
Day 3 quads hams calves

It's set up so all opposing muscle groups are super and triple setted high intensity non stop 12-16 sets per body part workouts last 2-2.5 hrs I'd find that impossible to do without carbing up

I would struggle with that too. I can train fasted if it's first thing in the morning but some go all day fasting and then train late afternoon and I can't do it. I feel too weak.

its weird that my split mirrors yours. except I do chest and tris same day
and upper back and bis day 2.

other then that same thing. and my workouts are 70-75 mins and then 15 min cardio.

I can't do chest tris cuz my tris are exhausted after all the pressing same goes for bis after back... ever though of doing chest/back then isolating bis & tris the day after?

 

[stevesmi]

yeah i mix it up on occasion.

but i usually keep the pushing exercises separate then the pulling for the most part

The pump you get working out and super setting opposing muscles is INSANE imagine your chest back tris and bis all pumped up at the same time just on chest/back day you walk around like a gorilla after arm day I can barely even drive home lol
