    I work out until i feel depleted...im shaky...i restore quickly with musclepharm recon...i feel amazing afterward...mission accomplished...and then i feel a little swollen for the rest of the day i guess its blood? inflammation? idk but when i wake up the next morning...im harder and i feel like a machine! stretching feels absolutely amazing at that point!

    Hungry! I don't usually get DOMS. When I first started I did, but not much since.

    I feel amazing after Im done but once I eat dinner and get in bed, I am out like a light! I love it tho because back in the day before working out I would stay up all late and get only like 3 hours of sleep(not healthy and ages you fast).

    Like this:
    Pretty fatigued and worn out. Never really sore, unless I'm coming back from a break. I lift at night though, so I go to bed an hour or two after I'm done. If you're worn out all day, check your calorie intake. Probably too low.
    And like this:

    When I lift heavy (5 rep range), I feel a little tired and really hungry afterwards. I also rarely feel sore. When I lift in hypertrophy range (8-10 reps for me) and do supersets, that's another story entirely. My muscles will be twitchy, they feel like jelly and I get DOMS from hell. Funny how that works.

    I train first thing in the morning, before work. I'm Hungry and only sore If I do something new, or go on a mad session, then again, I'm training for strength and love the days were if I've trained legs and can walk 1 hour later I didn't do enough.. (Just me though, I'm not recommending others to follow that).

    If your run down afterwards, then you'll need to eat\hydrate more than you currently do afterwards.

    But I was feeling tired when I was lifting 4 times a week. 3 days works better for me.
    Ya it's possible to overtrain. OP how often are you lifting?

    Just three days a week. I do about 15 min of HITT sprinting afterward and take the rest of the days off. I don't think my deficit is too large, I'm at about 1700 calories, -20% TDEE, but I do kind of struggle with eating enough protein. I'm about 150lbs and 5'6" and am averaging about 80g a day. I know that's probably not good, but I concentrate on the protein portion of each meal/snack more than anything else. Do you think that's what's causing the fatigue? I also have a 3 yo and 4 month old that still wakes at night. :)

    After squatting I feel like putting an icepack on my lower back.

    Actually, now that I think about it, on days that I deadlift, my lower back really aches the next day! But that's the only soreness I feel.

    Tired until I've had a shower and got some food in me.

    Seriously, it's the best feeling ever.

    Sounds like you might not be eating enough to fuel the enormity of having a regime, though.

    Just fine. The other day I did leg day to near failure, multiple sets, exercises. Took almost 3 hours. Could barely move.
    Within 20 minutes of resting, I felt like i could do it all again.

    SOMETIMES, and I mean rarely, I'll feel a little stiff the next day.
