Felt weak. I think it had to do with my diet. 7 AM had this blender drink
8 oz OJ
2 eggs
1.5 scoops Mex-RX protien pwdr
Then went to get a hair cut. That took for ever, so 30 min before hitting the gym I had an Isopure protien RTD.
Hit the gym at 9:30. Should have had some carbs before hitting the gym.
