at the bare minimum you could take 10-20 grams of BCAA's. some whey and carbs would be a much better option. performing resistance training in a catabolic state is a huge mistake if you are looking to increase LBM.

why would you workout on an empty stomach? that's just ridiculous

I second those motions !

10-20g of BCAAs before doing cardio on an empty stomach is great for fatloss. I wouldn;t resistance train on an empty stomach though,

the reason why I ask is because i use no-xplode w/ cex pre-wo and if i take any type of food before i work out i dont feel the kick as much from the supplements! when I take the no-xplode w/ cex on an empty stomach i get a massive rush of energy and vascularity! I just dont want to diminish the effects and thats what seems to happen if i eat before taking thse supps!!

why would you workout on an empty stomach?

1 - if your trying to lose muscle mass
2 - if your trying to lose strength

not a very smart move in my book

supplements don't build big muscles, food does. supplements will not fuel your body through a grueling training session, but food does. get the picture.

If it were just cardio, you would be fine, but if you are weight training you should at least hit some whey and fats.
