WD Questions for 0311Bravo

[zfrisbie]

To 0311Bravo or any other strength athletes on the Warrior Diet,

I was wondering if you have noticed/compensated for any drop in energy while training KB's on the WD. My first day was yesterday (so it probably is just the break in period), but I felt pretty run down with the empty belly. My main question is do you guys and gals do a fairly long workout? and if so, do you personally eat some carbs before training? Do you find this is necessary?

I personally am following ROP. Completed it in the press with the 40k and chasing that damn SSST. I read where 0311 Bravo is on the WD and he's quite the beast so I thought I'd ask you in particular.
My concern is it usually takes me about 2+ hours to get through my ladders. if the workout is that long, in your opinion will I need to eat some carbs in the undereating phase?

Anybody with experience feel free to chime in.

Thanks al

If your workout is a steady amount of work for those 2 hours, then yes, at the minimum get some BCAA's in your system, and maybe a very small amount of carbohydrate. I like to eat an apple, or a piece of low glycemic fruit a few hours before a training session for fuel. But working out on empty feels great to me now. Also, a shot of espresso is my favorite pre-workout supplement in existence.

When I cycle the warrior diet in I like to eat an apple about an hour or so before a workout. I've always had good workouts when I'm on the warrior diet.
