Just wanted to spotlight something I noticed the last two workouts. On Monday I was doing Chest/Back and gassed out early. Yesterday I did Plyometrics and had energy almost the whole way through (even though I say Plyo is a WAY harder workout...energy-drain wise).
So what was different?
The snack I ate 60 minutes prior!! Monday I didn't have a decent snack. Tuesday I ate a bunch of baby carrots, followed by a nice sized apple. That apple is packed with simple sugar carbs that are like gas straight into the tank, waiting to burn.
So, if you find that you are not having the energy you need during the workouts, consider carbing up about 45-60 mins before hand. But not icky carbs like candy, good carbs. :)
