Not necesserily. It could mean your diet is giving you an insufficient amount of carbohydrates and your body doesn't have enough energy when you work out. From my other post:

Carbohydrates convert to Glycogen. Glycogen is the primary creator of your body's MAIN energy source: Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). If you are eating low carb, your ATP levels will be low, and as a result you will have weaker workouts then you would if you ate the proper amount of carbs.

I train under HIT philosophies which means I do:

-few sets
-heavy weights
-slow controlled reps
-perfect form
-each set to failure
-forced reps / half-reps, etc

After my 3 sets of squats, I still do 2 sets of SLDLs, 2 sets of hack squats (with toes pointed outside) and 2 sets of calf raises. All of these are to failure, with forced reps with the help of my partner.

Now, one of my buddies who's my main spotter is a competitive powerlifter. He trains squats/deadlifts/bench press in one workout, and uses a lot more sets then I do.

My point is, if you eat properly, you can train with a higher intensity then you could with a crappy diet.

I agree with the last point 110%.

We also train in a similar way but I do far less sets than you do and workout more frequently.

And as for the gasping for air thing - I was referring to a DC-style widowmaker quad workout.
