Lots of people eat between sets, usually just some carbs. Doesn't work for everybody, but it can be helpful.
Rip,
Does anyone at WFAC eat in-between sets/exercises during training?
My training days are roughly 1.5 hrs with roughly 6-7 minutes rest between sets.
By the time I get to the 2nd movement I'm starving and I start feeling weaker.
I was thinking if I brought some food I could keep my energy levels up.
Thoughts? Or is this a dumb idea?
Thanks,

Interesting. Thank you. I'm going to try it tomorrow with a turkey sandwich. I'll let everyone know if it worked.
Gatorade makes a chew I eat before deadlift. With other lifts, I can sip liquid Gatorade between sets, but with DL, and my belt tight, down in the bottom in the start position...the prospect of a "Technicolor yawn" is distracting.
A turkey sandwich is a bold move since the meat is going to be sitting in your stomach for awhile. I like Sour Patch Kids.
Rest intervals are for coffee and carbs. JMHO.
Harribo Gummi Bears are the obvious choice for inter set eating. Especially after heavy squats.
I second the haribo recommendation. They also have the secondary benefit of drawing some funny looks from the cardio bunnies who can’t comprehend why you would eat sweets at the gym
