Nah seriously I’m going to see how this goes & depending on how I feel I might stretch it.

Is it wise to bench press during a fast? Knowing you have to work 60 hours this week.

For anyone asking this question, the answer is no. :francis:

Is it wise? Not really, no.

Doable? Yes.

You won't be any stronger (you may in fact feel much weaker and you won't have glycogen to use for fuel), but if you're not a 3 plate+ bencher then what does it matter?

You're obviously not tryna be a powerlifter so at this point your performance is kind of irrelevant.
:obama:

Not sure how much mass you can effectively put on during a fast but Imma assume building lean muscle isn't your goal right now.

I try not to step into the gym in the mornings with less than 1000 kcals, and at least 2500 or so in the afternoon but I also don't starve myself or intentionally lose weight so YMMV ofc.
