Without a doubt after. If you have solid food in your stomach, your body will start drawing fluids into it to help digestion. Lifting on a full stomach will make you feel sick and slow you down. I've tried it and it made me sluggish. Your best bet is to drink a preworkout shake consisting of dextrose, maltodextrin, and whey protein. I'd drink this upon awakening, then hit the weights a half hour later. The shake is liquid allowing for a much faster digestion providing your muscles with nutrients in time for lifting.
