Fasting before a workout?

[Vrulle]

This is what I've done for workouts for about the last...10 years or so. I'll sleep, get up first thing in the morning and go workout on an empty stomach. I heard this is the best for burning fat, etc.

How do you all feel about this? Any contradicting information to say that this isn't that good, or bad in some way?

Then, after I workout, I have my breakfast.

Burning fat... yes. But your lifts will suffer... because you don't have th fuel to hit it hard.
You need nutrients... to lift heavy... and really stress the muscle fascia.
Also... your CNS need fuel... to fire off those repetitive nuerons.

well I remember Arnold told he did the same thing. And look what happened....
If u need energy in the morning an old trick is to have an orange right befrore workout. Some good energydrink might be handy during the w-out.
I´ve done the same and don´t see that so bad. If u feel like it´s working why change? You´ll have to have some loading the evening before this way , but I can´t oppose the idea.

Just wanted to double check. I've heard both sides of the story, just wanted opinions from you all.
