I finally gave in to a noontime fasted workout recommended by Martin Berkhan. Going full-out after not eating for 16 hours sounded less than inspiring until I got into it. With nothing more in my stomach than the prescribed watermelon flavored Xtend drink (10g of BCAA amino acids) I had a great time and probably the best workout for quite a while. I still can’t believe 3 days ago I couldn’t even lift my arm… And after all this I still wasn’t hungry… Both the squats and the double unders were so much easier on a fast than fully fed.
