would it be better to go to the gym even when you're tired or give yourself a rest instead?
btw i only workout 3 days a week, so i have plenty of rest, but i still feel fatigue sometimes, should i listen to what my body tells me, or should i drag my lazy ass to the gym?

hell yes I get to the gym. I don't care how tired I am, because usually, I feel 10x better after I make it out of the gym. Make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Lack of sleep could hinder your gains. And I only work out three days a week too, and do cardio 6 days a week.

Sometimes I go when i am tired. If i feel very fatigued, then i wont go to the gym, taking the sign as a meaning of overtraining and/or lack of proper diet. If i am just a little tired, I will most certainly head to the gym, but normally with a high glycemic food such a banana before hand as well as two cups of coffee to increase the intensity that I can muster, in a fatigued state!

i would still go to the gym, just that beforehand i would also drink a cup of coffee.
There are no good and bad; no right and wrong. There were effective actions and ineffective actions, socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, wise and stupid decisions to be made. But if you wanted to achieve maximum sefl-realisation, you had to understand that any choice you made was entirely value neutral. Morality was a primitive concept, useful in earlier stages of societal evolution, perhaps, but without relevance in the modern age.

If your tired before you go to the gym, there's an easy solution. Play some hard ass music loud as **** in your car or on your headphones on your way. It'll wake you up and hopefully get you pumped. I find Metallica: Sad But True does the job just right, especially if I didn't get enough sleep before my HIIT session in the morning.
I'm back. For good.

I'm usually almost always tired before I go to the gym(school, work, etc.) but once I hop in my car with the 3 of my friends who are all hardcore lifters, there's a certain aura in the air that just yells out "**** it, time to lift some heavy ass weights!" So I can be so tired before I work out but once it's time to get down to business, my mind gets ready for it. Just find something that will pump you up, but try not to ever miss a workout because you'll probably regret it.

its hard when u work all day... easier than some of u guys who go to school and do nothing.
Here's one tip that someone gave me and it is what was helped me.... get into ruitine.... think of the gym as part of your job and that it HAS to be done... plan everything around your training schedule..... I got home from work at 530, but when people asking me to hang out asked when I get out of work I would tell them 9 or 930.... I love the gym and it's not a job to me, but thinking that it is something that MUST be done is a big help in not being lazy.... and I don't know your supplementation, but ephedra as soon as I get home from work lights a fire under my ass every time... if you dont like ephedra try some tea. Hope this helps.
