He guys I've been following the cutting program pretty strictly. I'm doing low intensity cardio either in the AM on an empty tank or after lifting sessions.

Not having carbs before my lifting is killing me. I have very little energy.

For example usually can flat bench 165x6 for three sets. When cutting I can only do three reps WTF?

Can I eat some plain oats b4 my lifting sessions for energy? Or should I add a stimulant...? Ephedra or caffeine to keep my strenght up?

Or do I have to just bite the bullet and get weaker and weaker as I cut
