    Is it ok using EFA's pre workout!!!

    This has been asked in the past but no real answer was established, so I am asking again!!

    My pre workout meal is.......

    1/2 cup oats
    30g whey protien
    2 fish oil caps
    1 tbsp flax oil
    1 borage oil cap

    I wait 20min after eating and take ephedra/cup of coffee...... then off to gym!

    Is this ok or should I not have any fats pre-work out? Also my PreWO meal is my first meal of the day cuz I like to work out in morning!

    my pre workout meal is just a scoop of whey and a banana + supps..
    because i dont want it to digest slow and sit in my belly when im lifting, i want it to be absorbed quick so i can use it for energy.

    See how you respond to it. I personally like to eat a little while right before I lift (whole food, like actually lunch). I just feel better. Others differ of course, so try it and see how you perform.

    Good call!

    I take fats pre-workout too. However, my pre-workout meal is usually an hour before I workout so the fats are beneficial.

    that's what i do too but i thought about the 20 min i think not really enough as i know fats takes more time to be digested ........i usually wait for 90 min then drink lots of water and go for the gym

    ex .....wheat germ oil,flaxseed oil
