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?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.

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.
