Early Morning Training & Diet?

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding
1

Ok, due to me working full time now over the summer I’m going to have to lift in the morning so that I can train MMA at night.

I am trying to gain some substantial muscle and I know that it’s hard to avoid catabolizing training in the morning.

I"m going to list my diet and hopefully you guys can help me out here and point out anything else I need to know about training at fucking 5am.

Breakfast:
Quart of Milk
Oat Meal

Workout: (Lift Weights)
-Mid workout shake (66g)
-Post workout shake (66g)

Snack:
Peanut Butter and green tea during hour and half drive to work.

Lunch:
Tuna Sandwhich and P&J sandwhich
Protien Shake (66gm)
Water 1/2 liter

Snack: (drive home about 2hrs)
Sandwhiches
Water
Assorted Nuts
Peanut Butter
Boiled Eggs

Dinner:
Chicken/Beef
Rice/Potatoes
Quart of Milk

Workout: (MMA training)
-Post workout shake (66gm)
-Gallon of H20 During Workout

Bedtime:
-Left overs
-Quart of Milk

I’m really not THAT strict with my food log. But I know for a fact that it’s upwards past 400gm of protien a day (2.5 gm per lb of bw) and that there is a surplus of calories, around 5000.

Large # of calories because I’m definitely burning a lot training 2x a day.

Help is appreciated

I’m currently:

19 y.o.
5’9
172#
“easy hard gainer”

You might want to eat some fruit upon getting up as well. It might help give you that extra boost in quick energy. I ride my bike to work at 4:45 AM, and the fruit helps.

Nova,

Keep a strict food log and rest/recovery log. It looks like a good plan, but make sure you get PLENTY of rest. The MMA guys we work with are on the same type of regiment…they have the chance to have a little more down time in between. Did i miss it, but what type of job is it?

Stay Strong,
SP

I’m a loan consultant, so I’m pretty relaxed most of the day just phone’s and paperwork and what not.

It’s funny cause everyone else goes out to eat… I go to my trunk and have a huge cooler filled with sandwhiches and water, boiled eggs,salad and shit hehe.

and 2 extra tubs of protien mix in the car.
