My biggest obstacle to weight training gains is days that I feel shaky. It is frustrating. Anyone else deal with this regularly?
Some days I can do a lot of weight, and some days the same amount makes me shaky and a little lightheaded. I've eaten the same breakfast and gotten the same amount of sleep, so I don't know. My blood sugar does run low (90's), but I drink cytomax during the whole workout. My avg blood pressure is 120/80, so that's not low. I do have some adrenal fatigue and low cortisol, and take a couple pellets of isocort on workout mornings... maybe it's not enough. Anything else, like dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, allergies? Also, I might try having a protein shake BEFORE workout instead of after.
P.S. I should mention... I do not do any stims, not even coffee.
