Having a hard time with fatigue the rest of the day after a workout….

Rest doesnt help, as much as one would think.

After i lift i am so lethargic, and i dont want to hinder progress, as the gym is alot of my motivation too.

What has helped you with fatigue after lifting the rest of a day?
 
I have only felt like that in two scenarios: 1) I had unknowingly crashed me E2 and/or 2) I was over training and needed to deload due to CNS fatigue.

Not sure if that helps my man.

outside of food, sleep and supplements:

using more RIR and using exercises that arent as systemically fatiguing. not overdoing the training volume, doing more of my training volume on less systemically taxing lifts, splitting up my bodyparts and restdays so i dont have two big/demanding workouts two days in a row and using restdays and deloads.

How does your programming look? and how does it look compared to the things i mentioned above?

Then those are the days i went…

Pretty much do 2-3 compound lifts per big body part, then 2-3 accessory, then hit small muscles last, then 2 workouts of a pump.

I have started going heavier recently on compounds but i always do at least 7 reps never below.


I would say i go for sure 70-80% intensity.
 
That looks like a mess,its hard to get a picture of your programming when you outline it like that.

So thats which exercises for which days/bodyparts for how many worksets and reps with how long rest on average at how many reps in reserve?

your exercise selection sounds random to me, check out the repeated bout effect.

why are you only giving your workouts 70-80%?

Did the fatigue creep up to you when you started going heavier on the compounds by ny chance?

I do basic movements for exercises, and nothing special. 3-4 compound lifts and 2-4 accessory per workout.

Back, 2 row movements, 2 lat movements, 2 rear delt
Chest 2 flat pushes, 1 incline push, 2 fly movements
Biceps 3 curl movements
Tris 3 movmements

Which would correlate with the push, pull days

I am not ready to do full 100% intesity for many lifts, as i am only 9 months pec tear repair.

I have been doing the same movements for 2-3 years, nothing has changed besides, tempo, eccentrics, weight

I will post progress pics tomorrow. I am also this week going to be doing all high rep ranges. I was doing some solid weight, but like i said, i going to focus on a pump week, i am so tired all the time and fatigued.

I feel like complete trash….i even took two days off but dam, it is not helping…

Maybe its the doses….going to let my estrogen raise up a bit.


Feel achy, feel fatigue, feel like garbage….

Look amazing though…
So if anyone recommends getting off a cycle and cutting back on training, will you finally listen? You've been pretty on a cycle for as long as I can remember. You need a break but won't listen out of fear of losing progress.

I think you are correct

whatever that means volume and effort-wise, take 2-3 days off, cut your volume in half or so, keep 2 reps in reserve, eat at maintenance, perhaps do some zone 2 cardio. Go back, make yourself a program to follow, 2-3 worksets pr exercise, 3-4 movements pr bodypart, quality over quantity, pick some fresh movements for each bodypart you feel well and get to work. Push hard.

I dont see why you arent training 100% on everything except chest.

Listen to T&H.

How many off days you give yourself a week?

Shower.
Last two minutes turn the water as cold as you can handle and stay in it.
Repeat with colder water and extended periods of time each day.
 
I very much doubt you would wanna stop a cycle begun even if it's the right thing to do as I saw above (have no insight on the past). However, I would just for 2 weeks try a training change as e.g. swap 2 gym days to e.g. swimming, fck that is good and it can give a deload feeling/ help tear.

I fell asleep after every session last cycle, since life came in the way and I couldn't go as heavy (but way more stressed), the fatigue ended. Meaning in my case I needed to train less, or rather, not as heavy. I was forced into resting and I am happy for that, though feel for you regarding the tear. If you got too much going on the body will tell you, simple as that.
 
What's your diet like and when was the last time you took a step back from lifting either days off, load etc.
