The dergree to which going through your training bout on just water beforehand may not be that much of a detriment if you had a full sized mixed meal 60-90 minutes preW, because give a training bout that's about an hour long, you'll likely still be absorbing that meal even when the training bout is over. On the other hand, if it's been 3-4 hours since you've had a meal, and you go & train on just water, it doesn't matter how radical your postworkout sugarwheyliscious shake it, you're compromising protein synthesis was well as antiproteolysis. Nah mean bruh?
