“Need the energy for the gym.”
If you are weight training and fasting, you are damaging yourself.
I understand where you’re coming from, however I don’t see damage here, but great results.
Eat about 140G protein per day and about 2200 calories. Get a solid 8 of sleep and maintain average 11-13% body fat. Mix in a run 1-2 times (3 miles) each week and lift 3-4 times each week.
No injuries
No loss of strength
No medical conditions
No meds, except vitamins and some nutritional supplements such as l-argenine, coq10, pre workout drink (only before gym) and protein shakes with 3 raw eggs twice per day.
Blood work results are consistently perfect, last reported on Saturday.
Total and free testosterone is that of a 30y/o
Cholesterol levels are perfect, as are liver enzymes, psa, wbcc/rbcc, thyroid, pituitary.
Only down side is gluten allergy
No injuries, only muscle gains and continuing strength gains, no muscle loss, no fatigue.
Rotate workout routines each week with high weight/low rep...low weight/high rep...large muscle group...isolated muscle groups & rest weeks.
Back when I had a trainer he told me a couldn’t run and lift weights.
While I’m not seeing damage in what I’m doing, there is a real concern in over fasting and weight training.
