The gym makes me really tired
People tell me they get energized by the gym, but whenever I go I am dead tired after. Any idea's why this could be? I try to eat pretty healthy, with lots of carbs and protein after the workout. Does anyone else have this problem?

Re: The gym makes me really tired
Not enough sleep, or your routine is overexhaustive.

Re: The gym makes me really tired
How long have you been working out for? I mean how many weeks in a row have you lifted weights 3 times a week?
If you are not consistent you will be tired more often. When I stop for a few months to focus on cardio when I return the first month or so makes me tired till my body gets used to the abuse. Be consistent your body will adjust after a month or so. How long are your workouts? Never go over 1 hr and really unless your super tough like sup bro 30 to 45 min is lots if you are intense. You can do a nasty lifting workout in 15 min if you focus. Drinking enough water?

Usually about 15 minutes of the time is socializing.

Re: The gym makes me really tired
Are you hydrating enough? I went to nutritionist last year and she told me about 85% of people walk around de-hydrated every day. This can lead to a worn out feeling.

1.5 hours? Holy crap! You should be lifting about 30-40 mins of that time. Sounds like you're just overworking yourself. [/ QUOTE ] This is correct.

Re: The gym makes me really tired
Some people just take a real long time resting between sets, too. Or even waiting for other people to get off the machines they need to do. I remember one gym I went to took forever to get a work-out in, because like most gyms they oversold the hell out of their memberships.

Re: The gym makes me really tired
I'm no expert but it is easy to check if you are overtraining.
Try this simple test on your next workout. On each exercise multiply the number of reps you do by the poundage. For example: bench press 175 lbs 12 times and you get 2,100. Next time you do the bench press see if that number has increased. If it hasn't, you have not fully recovered and need more days off between every workout. I work with advanced trainees who do one workout every six weeks. That's not a misprint. That means it takes them twelve weeks to get back to training each bodypart. And they make progress on every exercise on every workout and they lift enormously heavy weights. You can too. From here
