Is it normal to not feel your best???

I’m a kickboxing fighter. Been training it for 12 years. There are days that I don’t feel my best. Like I feel so tired when doing certain things like sparring. I am out of breath easily. Other days I feel super good. Is this common? This never crossed my mind until today.

When was the last time you had blood work done? Especially thyroid and iron levels?0

Lol like never3 -
I have days in the gym that just suck, and there's no obvious reason. It isn't often but it happens.
If you are female, does it correspond to a certain portion of your menstrual cycle?1 -
I have days like that. It could be a multitude of things for me. Sometimes I'm dehydrated and don't realize, sometimes it's a bad night's sleep. Sometimes something is weighing on my mind and the tension wears me out before I even start.2

stress, lack of sleep, lack of carbs.. maybe not even enough water0

Yup, not frequent, but it happens.
I will get a day where my warm up sets and 1 working set is all I can do, other days, as equally infrequent, I think I can conquer the world. I just roll with the punches.
If I have a prolonged period, a week+, I start looking at my calorie intake and macro split. That hasn’t happened, yet, this year, but there again, I’m working a lot more on bodyweight, as opposed to lifting heavy things, right now.
I have to read more on perceived exertion.
Cheers, h.1 -

Oh yeah. Thanks! x Our bodies are so weird but awesome at the same time. When I was a kid, I didn’t take these things srsly but now I am so into healthy living and I wonder these things.0 -

Omg I know right!!! I am the same. Atm I’m cutting so maybe that’s why I kinda feel tired some days when sparring. Thanks! x0 -
Are you the same person who posted 2 days ago who was getting <500 steps a day?
Just wondering how the two activity levels go together?1 -

Yes, it is.
I didn't comment in the other thread, but I am curious too.

Yeah, that could do it. Stop not eating enough on some days and then trying to kick box.0 -
As you are female try to see if it is linked to your menstrual cycle.0
