Exhausted after workouts

[Jay.]

very energy low, laziness, sleepy, no yawning and not really mentally fuzzy more mentally i-don't-want-to-have-to-think. All starting as i'm done with my workout.

I usually hate to sleep but i would to have napped today.

Any particular reason you're doing those workouts? 3x8 type workouts to failure always kill me. Sticking to more compound movements with lower rep regimes and less failure work could help-not to mention prolly improve strength quicker. But if that's not in line with your goals...

Stop going to failure on everything.

Are you obese?

I'm 176, 6", 22. Doing this workout just because i liked the look of it while starting, i'm weak as hell and look like enough of an idiot around the gym anyway w/o jumping right into anything complex.

What is your sleep schedule like??

When you go from zero to a strong workout routine, your body needs an excellent sleep schedule to grow and recooperate.

A good program is actually much simpler.

Doing stuff to failure is working on your nerve. This is a good way to toughen up and work on your discipline and resolve every once in a while, say for someone in a combat martial art. But it's not necessary for lifting weights, and is a severe strain on the system that, well, results in just what you're experiencing, and can dramatically increase the chance of burn-out and need for recovery time.

Unless you're in a sport that specifically deals with how you function when completely burnt-out beyond belief, training on the nerve is counter-productive.

P.S. Two liters of water on wakening? That's a lot of fluid, and you are doubtless flushing nutrients from your system.

Your program is crazy complex.

You don't really like wake up and drink 2 liters of water for time or something do you?
