Working out on empty stomach

[75th]

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 do a full body workout 3x/week and 30 mins of incline cardio 2-3x/week.

My workout consists of squats, deads, incline bench (alternate with presses), weighted dips, and weighted chins. I dont really do any assistance work.

2-2.5 hour workout? Jesus. I'm usually out of the gym in 45 minutes. But I know of folks who train fasted for 90 + minutes. Even folks who play football and soccer fasted.

i trained fasted today or kinda, my last meal last night was at 11. Then I trained at 1230, took some no shotgun and xtend before the workout. Workout went pretty well, I did more on floor presses then I have before and pullups/chins seemed easier. I cruised through my workout and was out in 45 minutes. This was the first time i used xtend so maybe thats why i felt so good. PWO I had a little bottle of chooclate milk mixed with 2 scoops of ON protein. I'm about to eat some tuna and chicken with broccli around 330. Then I'll prolly eat more chicken and tuna around 6 and a protein shake and scoop of ANPB around 8.

BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! If you dont eat some carbs youll waste away like an AIDS patient within 5 minutes after stepping into the gym!

im excited to see how this works next week when i do squats and push the prowler. Yesterday i was light headed from the prowler and it wooped my ass. I ate a full meal before this workout as well. Eggs toast and oatmeal. I hope i see a change eliminating the breakfast when I attempt this workout next monday.

I'm a big xtend fan...watermelon is my fav! It's hard to find up here...usually have to order it!

best thing to do to prove any unconventional workout strategy is to post before and after pics.. not of other people, but of yourselves.. with logs of when you ate and when you didn't etc.

I've tried various schedules, and the only one that works for me is to eat a HEAVY breakfast (3 eggs and 1/2 cup plain oat meal, and 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce; same thing 365 days), at about 6, then do my office work, then work out at 10:00. At the beginning, I have a 2-scoop Muscle Milk shake, and then after I shower, I have lunch.

Working out on an empty stomach is probably impossible for me; not only because I get a stomach ache from hunger, but I have a medical problem which causes glucose crashes if I am active without food in me.

I am usually down with trying something different for lifting but I am utterly weakened if I do not have something in my stomach 1-2 hours before working out...

75th, are you juiced when lifting on an empty stomach? I am completely natural so that might be the difference if that's the case. That and I am cutting but even so, I have a complex carb for energy 1.5 hours beforehand. Just a half cup of oats, 1 scoop protein and two hard eggs...does the trick for me every time.
