One more question, if you don't mind:
Do you think some of the challenge (at least with missing reps, if not recovery) may come from the fact that I lift first thing in the morning, without enough time to digest my pre-workout meal? I generally eat protein powder (30g) in water, some oats (75g), a banana, and a double-shot of espresso and then immediately hit it. Would I be better off with a faster-digesting carb source since I can't reasonably change workout timing, and do you have advice on what/how much to try? Thanks again.
