In this episode the Crew dials the voicemail to answer a question from a loyal Power Athlete Radio listener:

Hey, what’s up group? Is this Sean, first time Texan long time Power Athlete fan. Got a question for you all regarding nutrition and stuff like that. So my girlfriend and I workout in the morning, and the problem with that for us is that we tend to get our best workouts like later in the day with after we had a chance to get some good food in us. I know you’ve all tend to work out in the morning. What is yall’s morning nutrition routine cuz I feel like if we just get up and and just go straight to the gym, we don’t get the best workout. But then if we eat something we gotta kind of hang out and let that digest a little bit. What do you all do Thursday morning nutrition or stuff like that you tend to work out fasted find a good workout like that. Just got to suck it up or what. What do you feel about that? Talk to you later. Bye.

I eat success for breakfast, with skim milk.

Train first thing in the morning is a tall task for many. Most of the questions our nutrition team battle are sleep sacrifice to train benefits, WOD-ing in a fasted state, or what macros to take in before taking on the weights.
