Always Tired!

[jerume]

I expect most people who train hard and reguaraly know exactly what im talking about, I train a 4 day split, and like all people work on average 50 hours a week aswell, workouts take between 60-90 mins, i have approx 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight each day,drink alot of water, take a multi vitamin, diet is clean, always sleep around 8 hours a night, yet I am always tired and feel knackered!! Any ideas? Was thinking I may need too supplement with L-glutamine or get a better multi like ON Opti-men or Animal Pak. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Aim for 10hrs sleep when you have time such as your days off training.

Do you really need to be in the gym for 90 minutes on training days?

You could be over training...

Do you set aside time where you refuse to think about work & training?

Remember good things take time and are not easy.

10hrs sleep :shock: 8hrs is plenty, 7hrs even

nutrition is key :nod:

More Iron? My friend had a similar problem. Good diet, plenty of sleep, went to the dr and apparently was low on iron.

Get your bloods done man.

[hhhh1]

it could be you have a pituitary tumor...better get that blood test

[samuelNZ]

Had the exact same problem. My nutrition wasn't amazing, but that wasn't the problem, I got some bloods done and found out I'd had glandular fever for a few months :/

Moral of the story, go get bloods done.

[Lskee]

train more. Harder, Stronger , Faster

Harden the ef up!

[Furiogiunta]

Disagree with above^ 90 mins is too long IMO, I try to keep it 50 mins MAX, not including warm-up.

Unless you are on the gear... If that's the case workout as long as you like. \:D/

[hhhh1]

go to your doctor and say you want whatever tests done, and they will give you a peice of paper you take with you to a community lab or whatever telling them what to test your blood for

Hello.

I posted about a simular thing a few weeks back. I bit the bullet and went to the doctor after trying more rest and diet etc. They did bloods and checked for glandular fever and Hep a b and c. Thankfully I had none of the above but im still really fatigued to the point that if I train im wrecked for days. They think it is just some viral deal and will pass in a few weeks. Apparently they are seeing a bit of it lately. Very frustrating. Best you get checked out as you can apparently do damage to your liver etc pushing through it.

Try Animal Pak. I used to break out into cold sores and sht every 4-6 weeks of training hard and dieting etc. I struggle to get 8 hours sleep, 7 - 8 is a sleep in for me. I've been taking it for 4 weeks and feel really good. I find I don't crave as much crap high energy food as I used to either.

did it have any effect on the facial herpes?

am having the same problem..

am on a multi plus extra iron tablets... get 8 hours plus sleep..

have had recent blood test iron is low but thats been low for awhile even with iron tablets

i feel flat alll the dam time..dont feel sick thou just no energy.. i was wondering could it be the type of carbs you eat... like if you ate to many complex carbs that there not being digested fast enough for the amount of fuel you need.

any thoughts..

[andy s]

lots of different factors. Stress, work diet etc. If you have isolated out medical factors you could do well to start playing with diet. Some poeple dont absorb much if anything from multi vitamins so real food might be in order if you arnt having enough already.

Haven't had one since, apparently they come up due to a deficiency in lycene and the multis must supplement that IMO.

[jerume]

yeah I am going to see the doc next week so will get some bloods, how long do most of your workouts? As I was told should be no longer than 90 Minutes,is this true?
