thats just comes with training in the AM I been training at 5:30 for a few months now...I have my good days and my bad days of dragging...diet, supplementation and rest will help you out...I dont get to bed till midnight most days now that i have a 13 week old daughter I get up at 4:30. I try to nap in the afternoon after work... if the baby is but most of the time not. just give your body something to keep it going. So after a while you get used to it and your body will recover with the fuel you give it and catch 20 minute cat naps whenever you can.

^^^^^I agree with the post above by Shaffer....it comes with the morning workout....I have been training in the AM since my daughter was born (1yr 5 mos) and what I noticed is that if I get all my food in as planned I get great workouts, if I miss my meals for X reason, I get shitty energy......try ZMA at night, I get better sleep with it.......just my 2 cents...

Thanks guys for the input. Ill try getting some more sleep and adding a meal before the workout. I usually train on empty stomach. I heard that wasn't too good when taking PUMP. But that doesn't help with energy.

I'd wake up around 4-4:15, have a light meal and then take Pump at around 5:10. Then hit the gym at 5:30. I know 4 AM may seem early but you got to do what you got to do. Sacrifice is the name of the game.
Nothing in life is ever handed to me, I go out take that shit for myself.

I hate working out with food in my stomach but i need something in me when i first wake up...I drink a shake and throw 1/2 cup of oats in it...it fills me up enough to get me to my first food meal in the morning. (hint chop the oats in a food processor they mix better)

I'd say carbs for your last meal the night before would get you through the morning a little better. I used to do this a day or 2 in advance before my boxing matches.
