If I train in the morning with empty stomach, how fast do I need to eat after my workout?

If I train in the morning with empty stomach, how fast do I need to eat after my workout?

Depends on how hungry you are

13:37

For me, preferably quickly

But does it matter if I am not that hungry and wait 1 hour?

not persee

13:38

the fact that you trained will make the bulk of the difference

Weirdly i have my best workouts on empty stomach

But if you have less energy for your workout it may be a bit harder

13:38

so eating something is generally smart

Bzz

Weirdly i have my best workouts on empty stomach

some people do find that

I think because i sleep bad and get tired during the day

13:39

And I feel so much better after workout in the morning

13:39

Just dont want to miss out of gains

makes sense, waked you up properly

13:40

I think ultimatly the miss out on gains is neglectable

13:40

If you do proper workout

13:40

and have a good diet in the rest of the day

I do

13:40

5 meals a day

Personally I always eat something before, and not after

Yee, we are all different

13:41

If I eat before I wanna throw up

13:41

Tested different timings

You could experiment a bit more with it, see what works for you

13:42

But having a feeling of wanting to throw up is obvously not great long term

13:42

I like to eat a few hours before my workout

13:42

or have a smaller sized meal

Ye

The thing that will make you grow ultimatly is having good workouts

13:44

and good kcals, macros first and foremost

13:44

meal timing is less important

13:45

Altho eating something a few hours before or quickly after is usually smart

I also eat fairly big meal with carbs, fat and protein before bed

some people will get issues with their sleep if they do that

13:46

I personally don't eat something 4-5h before I go to sleep

Yea, I sleep better

you could try a few things, see what works beter. be consistant at it before making a conclusion

13:46

But if this works for you it's fine

13:47

just make sure you get good workouts in, that you progress with your goals

13:47

if you don't you could look at it again

I am so low bodyfat, hence bad sleep

That's something I would look at first than

13:49

sleep is quite important

Yepp, trying to bulk atm

Bzz

Yepp, trying to bulk atm

that seems like an obvious step foreward in this case

13:51

are you able to bulk up properly?

Its a bit of struggle

can't get enough kcals in?

I have some health issues. If you want more information we can take in pm

I prefer to keep things in the server if you dont mind

13:53

But if you don't want to share that's fine

Ye, maybe will do later today

Finishing up on gym atm and writing on phone is not the best haha

sure!

13:54

enjoy your workout

❤️

What rir zones do you guys recommend on leg based compounds?

19:52

Will 7/8 be good enough for those?

Rpe 5-6 is like the lowest end u want to start at

20:00

Then slowly add .5rpe

20:00

So like 4-5 rir

20:01

But then you’d up it to a higher point where u can still do it to whatever ur rep/set is

dr.Smoko fake PhD

But then you’d up it to a higher point where u can still do it to whatever ur rep/set is

Yeah i was asking for that higher point cap I was doing rpe 9, 9.5 for 4 sets on squats last session and rest of my workout went dogshit

20:02

I think i was just too fatigued by that point

20:02

If i say, stuck to rpe 8 would that be good enough?

If ur wanting that many sets for that high a rpe I’d go 8 or 8.5

20:03

Especially if ur having fatigue issues

20:04

Or try to maybe deload and try again

20:04

See if it’s just ur cns

sadisticspagett

If i say, stuck to rpe 8 would that be good enough?

What I do is a rpe 9.5 for 1 but the end of the 4/5 sets

20:05

Like go rpe 8 for 5 8.5 for 4 etc

20:05

So ur getting some strength but not much fatigue

dr.Smoko fake PhD

What I do is a rpe 9.5 for 1 but the end of the 4/5 sets

Oh so you ascend up in intensity? Like working up to a 9.5 rpe set by 6, 7, 8, 9, 9.5 etc

20:06

Or just keep sets 1-4 rpe 8, and do set 5 at 9.5

U can do it that way

20:06

I do 8 8.5 9 9.5 for 4 or two 8s then the same

1

20:07

Reps of 5,4,3,1

Gotcha

Just slowly adding the intensity

Alright then, based off what you said i could try ascending from rpe 7, to 9 in this workout and see how that feels

20:10

Maybe try keeping a consistent rpe 8 for the next workout and compare the both

20:10

Thanks dude

sadisticspagett

Maybe try keeping a consistent rpe 8 for the next workout and compare the both

Honestly 7.5-8 is usually a good zone for most things (edited)

20:13

If ur trying to hit a pr obviously up it

Totally makes sense

20:15

I wanted to build more mass so im doing more sets

sadisticspagett

I wanted to build more mass so im doing more sets

My old program I did do 5x5 for a few week around 80%

20:17

So like 7.5-8.5 range

20:17

Then do the 8-9.5 build up sets

1

Also on another note Im shit at gauging rpe/rir xd Im used to maxing out all the time for reps for accessories so it doesnt come naturally to me

The second phase

20:17

So I get mass and strength

Ye im doing 4x5

U can hit rpe 8 then easy each session

Also ive reasoned that if I stuck to a weight And did the same weight every set my rpe would ascend

If ur stuck on the same 1rm

20:20

Do say 80/85% for ur rep sets

20:21

Slowly get to say 95% if that feels right u know u probs have the 1rm

20:21

If not go back down to 80 and work up again

Over a block right?

Ur going to hit the weight and break past or least get some mass/ strength out of it

sadisticspagett

Over a block right?

Yeah I do blocks of 3/4

3 building 4 strength?

Usually just two blocks plus the block of sbd then the pr

1

sadisticspagett

3 building 4 strength?

3 or 4

Gotcha

Depends how many weeks u want

20:22

My current is 3 blocks of 3 so 9 weeks

Seems like a fun way to train ngl

But I’m going to do 4 week blocks but with 2 deload and a pr week

20:23

So 15 weeks totals

20:23

But this bitch is built for punishment

1

Just did 40 min stairmaster lol

@dr.Smoko fake PhD hit a squat top set at 8.5 and took 7 for the other 4 sets

23:15

I was able to get through rest of the workout easy and hit tons of prs

sadisticspagett

I was able to get through rest of the workout easy and hit tons of prs

Lot better then

23:19

U could try adding the other sets up a bit till u can do 8.5 for them all

23:19

So do 8.5 then 7.5 for the rest

23:19

Then 8 then 8.5 all 5

Okey ill progress intensity

23:20

8 for 4 sets should be a sustainable intensity right?

23:20

I don't plan on deloads anytime soon

Yeah

23:20

You won’t have to deload

23:20

Just if u get more gassed out

Sounds great ill do that

Just lower it by .5

1

23:21

Just keep it in that goldilocks zone

Gotcha
