Morning training on an empty stomach.

[gautho]

As far as early morning cardio is concerned, it's simple, if you put 300cals in and go to the gym and do cardio and burn 300cals, to me, your back at square root 1 . 2 steps forward-2 steps back.

I have never really had a problem at all and I work out every morning at 5:30. I don't feel right if I have something in my stomach that early. But sometimes I will have a muscle milk shake or something.
Other then that I don't have any energy issues.

That's some really good posts there Jake..... However, like you stated, cardio does burn calories, and boosts the metabolism after you stop..... Ok, maybe it doesn't burn TONS of calories, but it still burns some.... I also know a few guys that never do cardio, and can get ripped easily..... Some of us though need Diet, cardio, weight training, and Fat burners to get ripped..... Still, some great info in those posts.....

Yeah it's great isn't it? lol..... I'm at least pretty Mesomorphic too, so I get big pretty easy, and maintain gains naturally well too..... But the constant fucking dieting and ECA/Clen use drives me nuts.....

Hmmmm.... I see your points..... However, cardio in AM shouldn't be as intense as running if youre trying to keep or build muscle..... Personally, I walk for 1hr on an empty stomach, and it works great..... HR doesn't get over 150bpm, it burns fat, and I don't burn out.....

Very good point. Defining what kind of cardio is important. Are u running at a 10 minute mile pace? or are you doing 4*400's. Huge difference on what your body needs.

I could never train on an empty stomach.. I dont buy into that, especially with doing cardio on empty stomach.. Always eat!

agreed... I'd classify myself as an endo/mesomorph...

I will NEVER bulk without some cardio at the very least ever again!
