You’re Fatigued & We Know Why (Take Control of Your Fatigue)

The most useless video ever published on the face of the Earth

Central nerves system need time if its intense workout

Wow, you know your stuff.

Excellent information and thank you for breaking down this topic and such a robust manner!! 💯💯🙏🏼🙏🏼

Sum up : eat right, train smart, sleep at least 8 hours a day. There, I saved 20 minutes of your life.
You are welcome 😊

I’m starting to have this issue I went from 340+ to 265 and now when I go lift one heavy set I seem to be so gassed out everything else seems so much harder to do. I wonder if I should up my protein I usually just have one scoop with creatine after workout

Ok like say for instance I have to do 15 squat jumps.....I can bang out a good 10 of them but then begin to slow down. Then doing the second set I am no good. It doesn't help I am overweight but I am learning to push through the pain and the urge to give up

wooow! dopamine, serotonin and brain

Thanks for this video, Just yesterday I hit a pb deadlift for 5 reps, I felt great but when I went for a second set I couldn't do it, I felt fatigued and my body was so heavy. Interesting the fatigue is the same level for both deadlift and squat. Definitely good points about having enough protein in the body and also lowering serotonin so we stay calm and relaxed.
Just wondering if lifting heavy depletes iron stores? My blood test result came back with really low iron stores despite my haemoglobin being normal, thought maybe the body uses up more iron .

B12 deficiency and D3 and iron

I started lifting weights on Monday. On Wednesday, I was still sore and decided to go the pool to relax instead of working out. I ended up swimming for 1.5 hours. Today, Thursday, I woke up like an 8 wheeler had run me over and super, super sleepy. First of all, I woke up in the after noon and was sleepy the whole day and I’m still sore in some muscles. I am supposed to train again on Friday, but from what I read, it is better that I just sleep, rest, and, if I need exercise, just walk. What do you think?

I have been following a high volume training program. During a mid of my program, I got fatigued. I lost my strength and motivation and have a persistent headache all the time. I can't be able to lift like before. Did I fatigue my cns? After a 10 days rest, I am feeling the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

For me, since I’m not an athlete, I just do my strength work and take a couple days off from hypertrophy work and I’m usually good to go for the next week.

How much load deload tho?

I have no dopamine or serotonin 😍😍😍 love this for me lol

This video is bs

An in depth look at fatigue? We do not know, we are not sure. It feels heavy. Seems more muscular. At no time is this in depth based upon science. Lots of big words but frankly no help to anyone. If you do not improve, your PNS is tired? Wow! Love this content but honestly, this is poor!

Thank you.....

Yoooooo elitefts goes hard lately

Great great info! Now, I just need to remember it.

Excellent content as always, but I have a question about the effect of carbohydrate inclusion: how much of an effect does it produce, and how does it compare to athletes fueled entirely by fat instead of carbohydrates?

thank you very much guys for constantly sharing awesome content!

Very grateful to EliteFTS for what they've done for the powerlifting community over the years. I suggest the presenter take more breaths (pause for effect between points), have fewer run-on sentences, and plan the presentation. The stream-of-consciousness style is an impressive display of mastery of the material but challenges your already knowledgeable audience's ability to keep up. I suggest thesis, body/evidence, conclusion(s). "Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell it to them, and then tell them what you told them."

I see Tony I like 👍

Very informative and appreciated. Thank you!

My SS Yoke bar arrived Wednesday and its making me so happy

Very good, meathead still blame the hindenburg crash on their CNS

Good content guys, very informative.

supplements, stimulants, food, medications, hormonal conditions, cardiovascular health all effect fatigue

EliteFTS is the ultimate channel for all things training, diet, recovery and lifestyle IMO. Thank you for the content and keep the videos coming!

Awesome video, this makes a lot of sense. A lot of people think serotonin is the happiness hormone, its not...dopamine is. Serotonin is the hibernation hormone.

Love a Tony Montgomery video, fatigue makes cowards of us all, or something like that 😆

Okay, so this is interesting. I don't see the seratonin connection completely and am very curious about acetlycholine and how it plays into physical performance. I am also curious about the ATP cycle in the muscle contractions and also whether the androgen receptors can play any role in fatigue. I would love to be able to listen to Tony for about 100 hours or so. I enjoy learning and especially about lifting performance :) Thank you for the brain awakening!

Years of "I think I need to switch up my program" summed up in a 10' clear/concise video... awesome 👏🏾

I've temporarily quit powerlifting and turned to a bodybuilding style program because of fatigue.

In powerlifting I would do 2 or 3 sets of roughly RPE 8 squats and I'd be seeing stars/fuzzy vision, heavy breathing wouldn't return to normal for 15 minutes and I'd feel completely exhausted.

I'd have to do my main lift and then leave because I couldn't handle doing variations and accessory work.

Been lifting since 2018 so not new to it and I've never fatigued like that before.

I eat and sleep well so I don't get it.

I've replaced squats with leg press and hack squats and they don't bother me at all, just going hard on those instead now

SLEEP
