I backload a lot of my carbs. It works quite well for early morning training!

I always trained fasted when I had to do 5am sessions

I train either fasted or after bullet proof coffee and never had an issue with gains.

Pink salt to this as well.

What's the purpose of the pink salt?

Training in the early morning? What has the world come to? Morning time is for procrastinating, eating oatmeal, drinking coffee , and then pooping (in that order). My body would be so confused if I somehow got that sacred routine out of order.

I'm probably averse to it as I went to military school, or as my family called it, "Camp Bad Boy". The way we trained there began with garbage can lids rolling down the aisles of the barracks, shouting, and running to the freezing cold training field and brief "warm up", then exercise. My pre workout was agitated fear.

Some hydrolized rice and a fast absorption protein source like chicken or fish, if you do not have much time to make the meal use whey like protein source.
Keep the gatorade and eeas for intra workout

I've been using what I heard from Palumbo, 2 scoops of protein, 1 scoop waxy maize and 1 tbsp of fat (Mac oil). Also adding 6g citrulline. No stims the vast majority of the time.

Why fat before workout?

Why fat before workout?

Mitigate insulin spike

Why fat before workout?

I've found that a handful of peanuts with my shake also helps energy stay consistent.

Mitigate insulin spike

so why choose a source of carbohydrates that will trigger insulin and add fat to decrease it?

it makes sense IF there are no carbs together in that meal

Ez digestion carb source.

Lots of broscience in that question.

Fats slow the release of insulin and will help give a more sustained release throughout the workout.
