Since 4 weeks i am doing stronglifts 3x week and after lifting i walk for about 30 mins but since a week or so i am feeling extreme fatigue. Today i went to gym after 2 day break and i couldnt do my regular workout , had to deload by atleast 10 lbs on squats and around 5 lbs on bench to be able to complete all my sets and reps. I take enough break between sets, drink atleast 1-2 ltrs of water in the gym. Workout A takes about 1 hr 10 mins. After finshing my strength workout, i completed my 30 min slow walk. Its been 6 hrs since i finished my workout and i do not have strength to do any other work. Lying in bed since morning. I am no way eating less, hydration is in place, iron levels are fine. I dont know whats wrong. Any advice is appreciated.
P.s. i train fasted and take 10 gm Bcaa before workout and 10 gm during the workout.

How long have you been training fasted for, and what happens when you train fed?0

I would consider eating something small about 30 or 45 minutes prior to training and see if that makes a difference. Some fruit for example might be a good thing to try.
Now it could be something entirely different causing the issue, but I think it would be a good idea to give it a shot and see if there's any difference.0 -
Could it be overtraining. I have had issues with fatigue in the past... Chronic cardio or exertion stalls my weight loss.0

It's possible, however your listed activity doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary and additionally, the nutrient timing change is a very easy-to-implement fix that could test this theory in a day or two, whereas if we assume it's training-stress related the solution to that is a training break for a week or two. So logically I would think it's far simpler to adjust nutrient timing, give that a couple of days (if you don't see any improvement after a day and you don't have any stomach issues, try slightly increasing food intake pre workout and give it another go).
Based on the extent of your fatigue it's also possible that this is some sort of illness, and you may also wish to consider seeing you doctor. I'd especially recommend this if you find yourself bed-ridden from exercise.0 -
