yeah, it's first edition though.

do you guys ever feel tired all the time?

maybe this is lack of physical activity, but, I always feel fatigued before working out.. or all day for that matter. it's weird because I eat really healthy.

oh and if it seems my posts are scattered is because as' i reflect all day on my weaknesses in training, things pop up, and
i have noone else to ask but here.

It could be lack of activity. It takes a little bit for your body to adjust to increased activity also...so you could still be tired from lifting before you even start another session. What is your pre workout nutrition like? Do you sleep enough? There are 100 different reasons why you might be tired.

Could be that I don't sleep enough. But what is enough? 8 hours? I have to wake up at 6am everyday for school M-F, and I usually end up going to bed around 11.

on the weekends I "sleep in" till 9 or 10, but I usually end up feeling like shit when I wake up. tired, sick, not hungry.. I feel like this when I don't work out too. and then I have to 'snap out' of that, force myself to eat, and then a few hours later force myself to go to the gym tired. I've rarely felt like " YEEAAH!!! TIME TO PUMP SOME IRON WOO!! LETS DO THIS!!!

I don't do drugs or drink so I just don't know why I feel like this. I don't have some weird disease. can anyone relate?

My preworkout nutrition, you mean everything I eat before I workout that day? or just in the hour or two before?

before right before I worked out I would take a scoop of whey. and hour before that would be like a hamburger and some french fries (home made, not fast food)

and breakfast and meals before that was like chicken breasts fruit and eggs.

that's why I'm thinking not enough complex carbs. do you guys usually eat a sweet potato brown rice AND oatmeal before you workout that day in seperate meals?

Slow digesting carbs are best before you work out.

Everybody needs different amounts of sleep. I function best on 9 hours. My ex felt like crap if she got more than 7. Just an example.

Haha Ross, you function best on 9? You're a lucky dog if you ever got to find that out!

I personally like in the 6 range myself, even if that's supposedly too little.

i'm around 7 i think...i usually wake up after 7 or so...i miss sleeping in on weekends till noon.

You and me both

what time do you usually get to bed? 11pm?

OH lol, I can't believe I never mentioned this. My thigh muscles are bigt bulky and defined, but my upper body scrawny and weak. I think it's because of all the squatting. My old pants around the thighs dont even fit anymore. I'm not going to stop squatting for the obvious all over growth advantages Rippetoe claims it has, but I only saw growth in my legs...

Anywho, starting the SS routine today. Planned programming recorded and documented. When I get home I'll be posting the link to my journal, please comment on it and help me along the way, in return I will help any newbie who comes here asking similar things I have done, once I reap the experience.

Thanks a ton guys for all your help!

yeah i usually hit the hay around 11...up at six or so for work...
