I've noticed that after an intense workout i shake. Today I worked my chest and shoulders, both to failure on each exercise. My upper body was shaking when I finished. I've had this before with my legs. Anyone seen this? Am I missing something or is my body just telling me it's had enough?

I lift early in the morning around 7 am. I do an intense lift and run for about half a mile to a mile depending on energy level and time. I don't or drink before I work out, other than water. I want to use the glycogen levels in my muscle tissue for my lift then burn extra calories and fat...

In my evening protein shake I have my protein powder, glutamine, and carbo hit (100% complex carb). The taste is just the vanilla whey. Its not really bad tasting just sometimes its hard to keep it down. I thought about adding unsweetened kool aid to the shake to add some flavor but not sugar...
