    I've had decent energy so far with my workouts while doing OMAD, 5 weeks in.

    My meal is around 8 or 9 pm and I workout at 5am, 4 to 5 times a week, I sip through my session with some Xtend BCAAs mixed with water

    4 out of the 5 workouts are based around barbell compound movements, deadlifts, squats, rows, military press, power cleans, pullups and dips, the 5th workout is kettlebell work, and pullups/dips, sometimes I skip the kettlebell day

    I don't think I could do it 20+ hours into the fast, I eat at night and workout early morning so I have decent glycogen levels to blast my skeletal muscle

    I cannot lift heavy after 20-hrs of fasting. I will bonk every single time right at the beginning. The brain just says no, not enough glycogen. I can lift fasted in the morning while I still have enough glycogen in me.

    @arguablysamson, how is your bulk going now that you're a couple of months into it?

    I have dropped back into strict OMAD for the time being. I will resume the bulk probably in about 2 to 4 months.

    The nice thing is you have tools and know how to handle it!
