Tired b4 lifting.any supplement boost

andyem Posts: 45 Joined: 2004/02/03	2005/04/20, 02:04 PM I feel tired before I workout.. I workout after I eat my breakfast consisting of: plate of oatmeal. 40G of whey, two bananas and multivitamin. Is there anything food wise and supplement wise that will give me a boost to go workout. Coffee doesnt even work either. Thanks in advance

Go 1 1/2 medium speed on the bike then next minute hard and 30 seconds slow down then go straight to the weights. That coupled with 50% 1st set lifts has given me much more power per lifts.
