Does anybody know what causes muscle fatigue? I was tracking along nicely with my workout, adding weight weekley and the workouts getting asked each time. But yesterday I went to workout and just couldn't do it. Stopped because It was late. Today it's a little better but they are a lot harder than they have been? Lack of protein? Carbs?

Sounds like a good time for a rest.

Personally, I've never been able to add weight weekly, I eventually hit a wall.  (I'm a very slow gainer though).

I figured it out. My hockey team started so I tried to reorganize the days I do workouts but didn't like it, so I reorganized it again. I also had to make up an upper body day I missed so I ended up doing 4 days is a row of upper body. And my plan was to add weight every month but after a few days they were just too easy

Just got back into lifting, as I put a makeshift home gym in the basement. Need to be able to outdrive @saevel25 more than once next year.

Workout last night was an easy legs day (Haven't lifted in 18 months, didn't wanna go too hard)

Just 4 sets of squats, 185x10, and a set of lunges. Then called it quits since I wanna be able to walk...didn't work, still rubbery lol

I did that program for about 2-3 months a couple years ago. Great strength/muscle building program. I think at the end my deads were up to about 350...if I tried that now, I'd probably drop a nut...
