Note:  Today was not the first time this happened:  I get shaky after lifting.  Drinking and eating usually makes this stop.  I guess this is what every training guide is talking about when they say ‘Do not pass go, do not collect 200, do not take a dump, make a phone call or anything else after a work out.  Eat.  Right away.’
