Summer football lifting...

[Skilla_Staz]

This summer, my football team is lifting from 6-8am. The problem is, I generally work 'til midnightish. I probably won't have enough to wake up and eat a meal, and allow enough time for it to start digesting.

My question is, if I eat a meal immediately after my workouts, and take creatine before and after my workouts, as well as continue to eat 6 meals throughout the day, would that "lack of a meal before my workout" thing make too big of a difference?

imo, no. The meal afterward is more important than the meal before the workout.

With what energy are you going to lift with if you havent eaten anything? Id at least have some fruit juice or something with the creatine. Cant you eat some bread or fruit on the way to the gym?
