Simple breathing and relaxation exercises should do, no need to go all ‘transcendental’ lol.

Carbs can trigger insulin release which can protect muscle from the ravages of cortisol.
Cortisol can, and will, wreck a physique in short order. It is valid practice to try and modulat its effects through use of supplementation and relaxation.
Lifting 60% of your 1RM can release transient pulses of GH, which has a lypolytic effect - not something to be ignored IMO.
Get the bulk of your daily carbs in the 60-90 minutes before training. This will create a maximally-anabolic environment around the training window, plus fuel your intense workout.
For some populations, bread can trigger unwanted side-effects. If you are not sensitive to bread, then by all means eat it. I don’t.
Rice is better tolerated IME.
Counterpoint to my main man Bricks’ post
Technically, we are both ‘right’ in what we say. But Brick seems to favour a more ‘9 to 5’ approach (which is cool), whilst I go with a more ‘inner geek’ approach. Pick which works best for you.
That’s my opinion.

For those of us who train early / after breakfast what would you suggest?
Right now I’m having 2 carb meals, 50g of carbs from fruit for breakfast, and 75g of carbs from rice an hour after training.

Depends pon your goals.
If all-out muscle building then a liquid meal with fruit, powdered carbs (palatinose works well, but dextrose/malto should be OK) and whey would be my suggestion.
If muscle-building-with-an-eye-on-fat-burning, then whey isolate plus leucine would do.

How much leucine total would you recommend? <200 lbs
