@Raza. You need to see a doctor about your sleep. But you should take creatine after training, not before. Please read this: https://musclehack.com/when-and-how-to-take-creatine/

Dear Mark, i am doing early morning workout, i ate 2 bananas, 100 gram yogurt, black coffee and cretin before workout, i just started gym 2 months back reason was my skinny fat on belly, now its in control but not yet flat.
I woke up many time in night and getting sleep after is really difficult, so cant complete my 8 Hours sleep, please advise on this.

I am doing 9 to 6 Job so cant sleep in day time.

Mark,
“I only take a whey shake in the mornings. I eat my first solid meal at 1pm every day.”
With the above, what time of the day do you normally workout?

You have to believe in something before you can be something. I’ve followed your site for years and really look forward to your daily email with knowledge and advice. Thanks so much for giving us all something to believe in. This iron game is not the easy road, but you sure make it easier with the knowledge you share. I am 47 and still rocking it out in my gym 6 days a week.

@Mark, thanks very much my man. I will definitely start this practice and note any changes to you in the next few weeks. Now to hunt for a quality BCAA. LoL.

@Jason. BCAA’s are hardly ever needed – but the one instance they are useful is early morning training on an empty stomach. That’s why a lot of IF guys use them. So yes. Try for a few weeks and note your progress brother.

Hi Mark, I’m in the same boat as Joey there and what I’ve been doing is have my early morning coffee at 6:30am, make my home made pre work out, and have an intra shake stacked with creatine, Glutamine, 10g fast carbs and drink it during my workout. Eat eggs about an hour or so later.

You still Feel BCAAs would be beneficial for me in this case?

In reply to Joey. @Joey. What I suggest you do in that case is take BCAA's before training, then 50g whey powder (delivering about 40g protein) after training. That'll keep you covered. Enjoy :)

Mark
I work out in the morning. If I do a whey protein shake for breakfast (7am)and then go work out, do I need another whey protein shake after (10am)? Then first meal at noon or 1:00pm?
