Oh!
There was me thinking he must be very well built, and just doesn't want his identity disclosed, or anything about him.
He is posting all this scientific data, and thinks this will give him credibility.
I guess all the competitors must be naive to do cardio on empty stomach, in the morning, when it's the most grueling.
Instead of laying about and have some food and then do the cardio, full of energy.
By what you said its obvious you have not read, nor understand, what the studies demonstrate. It doesn't matter if its more grueling in the AM. Doing anything in the AM is harder. Idiot competitors who barely understand human physiology following a trainer's guidelines also means less to me than studies and scientists who understand the body. Even if they do get ripped, it was not because of when they did their cardio. It was because they dropped their cals and got the cardio in that day, period. When you eat before cardio you reduce lipolysis (release fatty acids) for that small window but it ends up NOT making a difference because lipolysis is NOT the rate limiting step of fat loss when it comes to cardio, it is oxidation (burning up or usage of the freed fatty acids) that is rate limiting so you end up oxidizing the same amount. In essence, it cancels each other out and you may actually just be causing more peripheral detrimental effects to muscle accrual and strength by doing cardio fasted and or glycogen depleted.
One scenario where I could see not eating making a difference is something like this. Wake up fasted, pin GH, train/cardio, liberate FFA to be oxidized, DO NOT EAT AFTER workout as well. Fast again for a min of 4 hrs, let the GH increase FFA release and oxidation in that window, thus surpassing (to some degree) the natural rate limits of the FFA release and oxidation steps. This is oversimplified but it needs to be for you fucking morons. Some people do this. Some people pin GH, work out then fast afterward for maximal fat loss. It is kind of along the lines of a carbless pwo protocol for fat loss. It's just horrible for gains and you better be on some moderate test/tren if you want to hold that mass. If one wanted to implement this for sheer fat loss it could have merit though, possibly.
If you think doing 30min of fasted cardio THEN having breakfast within 1hr of it means you burned more fat that day, you are mistaken. Simply not how the body works. You may have freed up more FFA but rate of oxidation would be the same in either scenario. The net result is the same as if you did your cardio PWO or some other time in a more fed state. The limit on the "fat burned" is the oxidation step not the release of the FFA. Thus there is no real benefit at all. The above mentioned scenario with a PWO fast could theoretically make a difference but even then its probably marginal.
Class Dismissed you slack jawed dolts!
