It depends on your workout and how you feel about it.
If you are going to be doing a lot of cardio and you just feel really depleted if you don't eat prior then you probably should eat before.
If you are doing intense weight lifting and eating before upsets your stomach then you should eat after.
I don't really think it matters too much one way or the other. Do whats best for you.
I don't like to eat before a workout. I get heartburn and upset stomach. But right after a workout I'm chowing down...

Got in some pretty good work this morning. I've been slacking a little bit. Been dealing with a hand injury for a couple of months now. It hasn't seemed to heal much, so idk what's going on with that. I can fight thru most things, but push-ups are a literal pain lol. I've put on about 9 pounds this summer, but a good 9 pounds.
@Grandpa Good luck with your training for the powerlifting meet! Let us know how it goes.

I don't know who that is, but Micheal Phelps said he consumed 10,000 calories a day when he was training for the olympics back when he won all those medals. He was training 8 hours a day. Its not really that much considering how many calories he burns per hour of training plus what his body burns at rest with that fast metabolism.
So I guess I just need to train 5 hours a day to lose weight...

Grandpa, that soreness is no joke. 4 days! What's your method for relief?
I've just been stretching a lot today at work and I'm still kind of stiff. I'm going to use my foam roller when I get home, and hit the gym pool for an hour if it doesn't storm. I don't want to start skipping morning workouts because it's too easy to make that a pattern.

For soreness relief naturally; no harmful over the counter stuff or prescription meds:
Systemic enzymes on a empty stomach (fast acting)
montana arnica
fish oil
essential oils (fast acting)
DMG amino acid (takes a while to work though)
papain
resveratrol (takes a while to work)
bentonite clay (takes a while to work)
And stay away from processed foods and animal foods for a day or two.

Giving up meat for days is just not going to happen, Joseph. I'm not about that life.
I am feeling a lot more normal now though! 15 minutes using a stretch training machine, foam rolling, and a power nap works miracles. Now i am feeling the good kind of sore and less of the stiff almost painful soreness.
I bid you all a good night.
