Getting sleepy mid workout

[N.O.V.]

Yawning when lifting means you're not getting enough o2. It happens to me sometimes. What time do you train? You might need to lift at a time when your body is more awake.

TG, I usually don't train until about 7 or 8 in the evening.. unfortunately that's the only available time I have.. as I work 6-6 Monday through Saturday and my nearest gym is a 30 minute drive lol.

What's your drink of choice?

Im a fan of grape powerade man! What about you?

Good ideas already in this thread....

I like mixing a half scoop of pre workout in to my BCAAs to keep my up for the whole training session.... a good powerlifting workout can be 3-5 hours, not the normal 60 minute BB workout.

I've done really well cutting out carbs pre training, going for fats instead to keep me steady. Carbs come in again for my last few heavy sets and for my auxiliary work afterwards.

I've been doing water, but it isn't enough because after my bench workout I'm dehydrated.

I think I'm gonna make the change to a 16 oz water bottle filled half way with water and the rest with gatorade.

I got this idea from Hoodlum, and POB.

I wanna try the BCAA drink too.

I wonder if they have samples at the supplement store.

The half water half Gatorade sounds like a good idea man. I usually drink close to half a gallons or more of water during workouts and try to have half a Gatorade intra most of the times. You should definitely give that and some bcaas a shot turbo. Personally the simple carbs help me more on a level that I can feel

I rock Dymatize Elite recoup and fitness fiber (optimum nutrition) during my WO....and I call them crack sticks, but I use Vicks nasal inhalers for days I'm dead.

This is me being fully aware of my root causes of fatigue: poor sleep schedule, high stress-home, work, varied meal times and hydration. But as everyone has these I throw on some slipknot and do my best to get after it!

Just keep going.....

I used to use vick's inhalers all the time.. maybe I should give that a shot. And obviously, slipknot always does the trick!

Vicks inhalers?

Why that over nose tork or an ammonia cap?

 

[marx]

I can't believe I didn't mention this!! I do this for intra workout too. I can honestly feel the difference when doing this. It's like you got your second wind, not like you're trying to over power your fatigue. Good to go! Good mention bI

This. And BCAA's an hour or so before hitting it. An abomb helps too, LOL

Lol ! I go to the med supply store for my ammonia caps. I went in and there was a young guy behind the counter. I asked for a box and he came out with a 6 pack. I said " can I get one more box please". He cautiously looks at me and says " ma'am do you pass out a lot ?"
