Facts Friday: Fasting Your Food, Slowing Your Strength

Hey mate,

There has been a new study released in 2023 in regards to fasting.

Instead of you trying to read the study let me break it down for you in a simple format:

• 40 people participated in a study whilst doing Ramadan.
  

• 20 men trained in a fasted (after not eating all day or drinking water) state.
  

• 20 men trained in a fed state.
  

• The training was whole body resistance training four times per week.
  

• The 20 men that trained in a fasted state had similar hypertrophy results to the men that trained in a fed state.
  

• The 20 men that trained in a fed state built more strength than the 20 men in a fasted state.

So what does this mean?

This lines up with what I have thought for a long, long time.

From personal experience and seeing how clients react when training first thing in the morning before any food in their stomach.

You just won't be as strong.

So I'm going to leave you with two points to be the strongest you can be:

1) Eat before you train

2) Follow my structured workout programs to make you stronger with smart structured programming 👇
