2nd this. I raced off-road motorcycles at the highest levels for 25-years. And still Mtn bike on an empty stomach. I Only eat from 7:00 to 9:00 PM every stinking day. If you're new to fasting I suggest acclimating yourself and get used to how your carburetors work. Once you know your system fully, then rock on better than before. Welcome to better health.
I don't work out fasting. I did 20hrs and my lift was pathetic. Do a 4day split or 5. Use fasting on your off days. I lift or more accurately do calisthenics with gym closures. Test out and see what you respond to from training. 16hr fasts I can train no problem.
Im heavy squatting on a 20 hour fast.
I've done 7 days its fine with great results.
If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.
Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.
This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.
fasting on off days is goat status
I have started fasting in before pandemic and lock down 1.0. We're on what iteration 3 or 4 and I am going strong still. Home gym is next level motivation level. I had a 6x split in summer and spring. Running 4x atm.
It doesn't matter...for that duration there won't be a huge negative effect, I used to do it all the time. However I would recommend PerfectAmino...noticed a big difference when fasting and taking that while working out versus not..basically only has 2 calories per serving but gives you the equivalent of 30g of protein via amino acids.
I used to workout fasted all the time and some of those days were my best lifting days. Lack of hydration is a far bigger cause of muscle failure than fasting.

I wasn't putting up a 3 plate bench natty or any PRs on a 24+ hour fast. I can't speak for everyone but It ruins my routine. You can use fit note and other apps that will give you the analytics on the workout. The data was less then spectacular for me. Power to you if you see NO change but it seems pretty apparent that there has got to be a differencein outcomes. Your food is your fuel. Even if it's more mental, the experience has been less then spectacular. I will mix it in but if it's a hell workout, no chance of it on fasting.
Glycogen and ATP is your fuel while lifting, not food. Food eventually replenishes this, but the body will simply break down fat stores to access the materials it needs short term in the same way it does with food.
No PRs for me was enough to opt out or adjust my schedule. I'll run fasting 16-24 hours. I will lift but if I am trying break plateaus, I will eat first. Just getting through the workout is hell never mind setting personal records or more reps.
I mean, you aren't hitting PRs every workout. Or at least you shouldn't be if you have been lifting for a long enough time.
I can increase either reps, weight even if only a little, and some improvement. Yes, the odd fallback but, I noticed a drastic decline in output on a fast. I didn't feel strong particularly at the 20-24+ range. For example, on chest day, 20+ hour fast, there was no 3plate bench. it was torture trying to finish. I would add, the analytics were similar to being really under slept. Grante, I am over a year in on intermittent fasting so, I am getting better with it. I'm doing calisthenics, gymnastic ring workouts, bar work, and functional activities. I was pissed with consecutive lock downs but the transition to calis has been amazing for my joints and aesthetics. Intermittent fasting, 8hrs of sleep, calis, and clean eating has been a game changer.
