Carbs play a major role in that.. Hence why volumizers work much better with food in the system prior to training instead of on an empty. Same with pre-workouts with agmatine as well (aid in the pump) both play a vital role. When fasted a pre-workout will murder you, but your vascularity and pump will be minimal with less food.

I tried training fasted awhile back, I kept getting dizzy half way in, this was when I was training Yates style and I was not dieting eating a ton of calories about 5,000 a day. From now on I at least have one meal before training, especially when dieting.

I`ve been doing it for years but just lately I started getting that dizzy feeling during my workout.I`m off today but I will try it again in the morning and see.The kids came over last night and we all went out to eat at an italian resturant by my house.They have a steak I usually get but were out of them and I didnt want to eat pizza or lasagna so I`m giving the waiter instructions to grill me a couple of beef patties with a small amount of pasta.The wife and kids are rolling their eyes as usual.

I train fasted 1 week a year...I have my corporate office in town 1 week a year and we are busy up until 6pm or later pending business meetings with contractors and such. I try to be at the gym around 430 as I would rather spend the night hours with the family.

Haha I so the same thing at restaurants. "Can that be served with no dressing/sauce?"
"Can I sub that for veggies?"
"Is there an option to have that baked?"
"Extra green veggies please."

It`s been a while but I was at a Logans Roadhouse here in town and I wanted to order grilled chicken.Well they didnt have a plain grilled chicken on the menu but they did have one that had cheese melted over it.So I order it(I think it was called the Southwest chicken) and I say to grill it with no cheese on it.A few minutes later the girl comes with a plate with a fried chicken pattie on it and says"I know this isnt what you ordered but do you want this" so I said no just give me what I ordered.A few minutes later she comes back with the grilled chicken with cheese on it.I told her I wanted it without cheese and she told me "all our chicken comes with cheese on it"I told her yes but I ordered it without cheese.I said I am not asking for anything extra just leave the cheese off.So she gets pissed off and takes it back and my wife says "well you may get it without cheese but I hope you dont mind a little spit"

hahahahha good story Cook... idk why that's so hard to leave something off

[Hoss06]

I agree with Mrs CM....at that point, I would just remove the cheese...she probably licked the chicken too.

yeah I could have just taken it off but I just couldnt understand how the simplicity of just leaving the cheese off was lost on both her and the cook.

Sound like it was to hard for the waitress to understand! She needs a reality show!!
