Short post on a rainy Saturday morning before I head to the gym to lift and teach TRX.
Here's the short version of what I do before lifting and high-intensity workouts:
I am a coffee lover, and I won't give it up, but a lot of pre-workouts / NO boosters are loaded with stimulants. I found Evogen EVP, which is stimulant free. I like it a lot, it seems to help with the pump and the high intensity lifts. Flavor is good too.
I do a lot of my cardio fasted (more on that later) but in the gym, my lifts are too compromised by fasting. Zone 2/3 cardio is not, so that's when I get my fat burn on. Before the gym I load it up. I usually throw walnuts and blueberries in my steel cut oats. I make a big pot in my Instant Pot every week and have 4 servings queued up so I can heat it in the toaster oven and be on my way.
