every workout day, i try to pump myself up, get myself angry or do w/e will help me lift better..and..every time i start lifting something, my mind and body both get tired, and as hard as i try i cant get a solid workout in.
I eat 2600 cals a day, 250g carbs, 200g+ protein, 60 or so g fat and i have solid pre/post workout nutrition. I sleep 8 hours a night.
Anyone have any suggestions on how i can fix this problem or wake/pump myself up during and before my workout?

If you don't have energy as you workout you don't have a "solid" pre-workout meal.

drink the gatorade WITH your workout. You're crashing before you get there.

i get that too sometimes dont fret dude. My reccomendation though is not to flip out and invest in in a pre workout sup.
Too many people moan they had a few bad workut sessions and are looking for the new no explode/nitrix stack.
Are u hydrating urself before/during the workout... thats crucial

I don't see why you're still tired...try BCAA's.

ZMA? I know it helps me get into a deeper more relaxing sleep. Try mad croc energy gum. Thats the only thing I use for my workouts and it keeps me going for a few hours.

2600 calories for a 6'2" frame is pretty much a starvation diet.
