How often do you experience BURNOUT?
In fact, there are days when you just don’t feel like doing anything, let’s call it burnout. This is a really difficult moral period. At these moments, I try to turn off my brain, but just take it and do what is necessary. I immediately think over what I need to delete now from my life so that I don’t have a burnout. Stress, sleep patterns, nutrition, you need to understand why this happened. Maybe this is an environment of people, so we need to get rid of it. Not going to training, I then condemn myself, but after I went, I feel proud, no matter what mood I would not have been exercising with. How often do you experience burnout? How do you deal with it?

When I’m feeling burnout on the gym. I do the same as you. I just go anyway. I don’t usually push as hard or intense. But by the time I’m ready to leave, I’m ready to do more.

Typically after 3 or 4 days in a row of intense training burns me out. I just take a rest day and destroy on the next

I wouldn’t say I get burned out on training but I go too far on my strict diet of mostly all protein shakes and I feel lifeless. Today is a day like that. This is 9 days on mostly protein shakes and I have no energy even after taking preworkout stimulants. Rather than force a bad workout like I did in my youth I’m most likely going to have a cheat meal so I can be energized to train tomorrow. 
It’s definitely true that to force a workout now would make me feel proud of myself afterwards and somewhat better, I did that yesterday, which worked, but today I feel even worse. My body is depleted!

Make sure your workouts are fun is #1, if like to train heavy lift some heavy weight. If you like the pump squeeze those muscles. Or add sport specific stuff.

I like this thread it’s a common issue with a lot of us who are honest. I burnout usually after about eight weeks of hard training. I too push myself to go when I don’t want to. Except the recent few months. Since I got outta jail it’s been hard to reestablish a routine. But previously I do deload weeks. Usually once every two months. Then I utilize the time to change up my diet and workout routine. I’ll do some fishing or something to pass the time. I will go to the gym some days on deload but just to get the blood flowing. Just play around for half hour. I also like to use this time to donate blood and get my “oil change”.

Oh, I doubt I’ll change things. I like to taoe the diet as far as I can. You can tell me when I’m being a 
head and I’ll get a cheat meal to fix the issue for another week or so.
