ive been lifting for about a month, im one of those lean guys with high metabolisms so i read the bulking up thread n thats what ive been doing. its just some days i feel burnt out, and this isnt once in a while, its at least 1-2 days a week. i always eat well and even when i get 8 hours of sleep sometimes i just dont have the energy i do on other days. on some machines i can max them out, other days i cant even lift it (i focus on free weights, just an example). ne tips or suggestions on how to keep your energy levels up?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

eat more?
I feel burnt out a lot when i don't eat enough and drink enough water.

That's one possibility. Another is mind over matter. Try concentrating or getting in the right frame of mind or maybe music will pump you up.

I find upbeat, high energy music just pumps me up for working out or playing sports eg. Ludacris - Move B*tch
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
i've noticed my energy increasing if i take carbs straight before workouts; sugar form is best, but even complex carbs are good
when i get really tired in the gym, though, it usually means i need to take a week's break from lifting. every 8 weeks, i take a 1 week break.
and a bit of trance can't go a miss

Handful of trail mix - or some dried fruit about 20 mins before you hit the weights.
That's if it is an energy issue.
That's if it is an energy issue.
lets see, sometimes im stressed, but not too much, especially when i work out, i tend to be pretty relaxed. im a laid-back kinda guy and i tend to only be concerned with the present, so no problems there (tho i tend to procrastinate more then i should). i dont have depression or nething like that, so it sounds like a food issue. i started eating a LOT more, and the past few days i havent had a lack of energy, so i guess i wasnt eating enough. the handful of trailmix sounds like a good idea, so ill try that also. getting myself pumped up also helps, so thx for the replies guys. just needed a slap in the face to remember things i should know.
