Universal Nutrition Forum

hello again people.. ive been getting very tired after training over the past few weeks and as i train in the morning its a pain in the ass going through the rest of the day pretty tired. any suggestions or help would be great

You could be over trained. More sleep and maybe a week off from training.

Could also be linked to your diet.

thanks for the quick reply jeff. i had a week off a couple of weeks ago as i hurt my shoulder so i dont really want to take another week off as im going to a stag in 3 weeks so will prob have to take a week off after that

is there any quick fix for the time been

. my diet is as follows if this helps
meal 1: 3 weetabix and 1 scoop of iso 3cr2 caps(pwo)
after work out 3 scoops of true mass which i want to get rid off when im fin in 2 days

meal 2: 2 tins of tuna and some wholemeal bread

meal 3: wrap with chicken turkey cheese tomatoe corn

meal 4: 1.5 scoop of iso and some fruit or bread

meal 5: allways some chicken and rice or potatoe

meal 6: 1 scoop of iso

i was reading about that waxi maze stuff would that help tiredness after a workout

Are you taking a good multi-vit? That might help.

its not good to rely on stimulants but if your really dragging you could knock back a couple of sugar free red bulls, or a good stimulant based fat burner to give you a kick.

to be honest mate i think its the time of year or the change in the weather, im feeling like shit the last few weeks and a lot of people who come into the shop are complaining about the same thing. im sure it will pass

thanks very much lads for the quick responses i have to say best website on the net for good advice

well to be honest agent green i take centrium the odd time when i remember

ye cill tried the red bull thing and i like it but you know yourself dont want to be drinking a few cans of that every few days not good for the stomach.

And to venom ye man i think you could be the change in the weather also. but you know yourself its a pain in the ass feeling tired all day..

I agree with venom there!! I had a post up there about a week ago about recovery etc..... but same as everyone else i'm just tired.

We're all just waitin on a bit of summer but its slow comin, fingers crossed!!

Your missing fats from your diet - take fish oils and GLA and then eat a handful of nuts with your meals, or some avocado. These will add a much needed energy boost.

ye will try that gym john. i picked up some fish oil caps down in holland and barrett the other day(didnt buy them mind you) and it said only take 1 a day but i have been reading posts on this site and the guys saying that they take them a few times a day.

Is it ok to take them so often with every meal and also whats gla and where can i get some. thanks

As venom says
"pop them like smarties"

I take 40 a day as they are my main fat source. I also take a number of different nut oils too.

Jeff what size tubs and where do you buy them!? Thats if you are being serious...

I'm totally serious dude. They're a great fat source. I take 10 with a lot of my meals and then almost a tbls of nut oil with others and that's where I get all my fats from.

You can get big tubs in UN or most of the health stores sell big tubs too and they'e all reasonably priced.

40 tablets a day

holy shit man. that is some crazy amount of tablets to be taking a day. surely thats not to good for you jeff. but i will deffo start to take them(not near that many

)
