Going to the gym in the mornings

[Visitor Q]

Fairly mundane thread here, but basically, what do you guys do for food etc if you're training in the morning?

What with late shifts (1.30-10) every weekday bar wednesdays and working weekends, I have to go in the morning now

My problem is, normally before I go to the gym I eat a cock load of protein (ie meat) and a bit of carbs, let it go down for an hour and then go. Works fine for afternoon or evening sessions.

Not quite sure if this is such a good idea for breakfast, especially as I'm never that hungry in the morning.

So, how have you guys got round it?

aren't you meant to eat porridge?

Porridge here an hour before i start, so as soon as i get up eat, 30 mins to get ready, 30 mins to get to the gym. Cup of coffee helps to perk you up as well. Suppose its one of those things like dragging yourself to the gym, you just got to force it down yourself even if you aren't too hungry.

Seem to recall Hugh Jackman saying to bulk up for wolverine he was setting his alarm clock to wake him up a good few hours before hes supposed to work out in the morning. He'd cram a load of protein in and go back to sleep.

+1 for Porridge oats with Protein powder mixed in, there's your slow carbs and protein in one foul swoop.

Another protein immediately after and then you should be able to tie things in nicely with your breaks/lunch as good as you would if doing the straight 9-5.

Bah... protein shakes/powders are the beginning of the end. Every tosser I've ever met has a box stashed away somewhere

Can you do savoury porridge? I was thinking of just dropping a dead animal in it?

Anyhew, plan on gym tomoro, gonna try and get a light breakfast, then have a massive beasty kidney and liver meal (both at dinner and lunch) to keep me going

Might have to cook it early and have it before though

Protein 1st thing just takes too long to get the benefit.
I go for cereal,banana,tea. Train then hit some protein.
Works for me.

Ussually do porridge or poached egg on toast washed down with protein drink or just lately one of those "for goodness shakes" although my trainer tells me they're s**t,but then i suppose your diet depends on what you actually go to the gym for,originally i went to lose weight and tone up,now i just go to get away from the missus

I don't know how you can train in the mornings, I've tried and it just annihilates me. Have started going about 9ish on a night when I can have the place to myself.

Get yourself some NO-Xplode, or another NO2 product, you wont have to eat anything, and have a really good workout,

Has to be taken on a empty stomach, worked perfectly for me in the mornings, when i worked out, now i work out in evenings , i cannot take as i eat around 1 hours - 30 mins before gym and it fucks up my stomach if taken with food.

My system works pretty good Bonny.
Wake up, make a PowerCoffee and CalmoSpliff. Drink and smoke whilst having a good shit( internal cleansing cycle)
Then I'm good to go, ready to move on to the pc room and hit the zone.
I've been known to do at least 30 reps on the keyboard before having another CalmoSpliff to ease down before going on to the next machine.
I'm a bit of an animal so sometimes think "fuck it, I'm gonna go for it" and go from keyboard to fax machine. I'll hit the wall pretty quick with that though, so more PowerCoffee and maybe a HealthinBacoButtie to regain my levels of buffoid acids.

This too could work for you...
