Always feel like this after weights

Whenever I lift weights later on during the day and day after I just feel fatigued, irritated

My diet is good

I get atleast 7 hours sleep

I went doctors aswell and everything is fine blood sugar etc

So what is going on?

Thought ur supposed to feel good after exercise not irritated snd fatigued

Hi, it's completely normal to feel fatigue after lifting weights. This is due to your muscle fibers breaking down, which requires time to repair, which is how muscles grow. Although, if you still feel fatigue more than a day after your workout, your workout may have been too intense and straining on your body.

It’s normal to feel a bit tired after exercising, especially if you’ve pushed yourself a bit!
I find that if I’m tired and hungry, I tend to get irritated much more easily.

By “diet is good” what exactly do you mean? Are you eating a good variety of foods, with all the necessary nutrients etc.? Are you eating enough? Do you eat something before you lift, and something after which includes both protein and carbohydrates? Are you consistent, do you eat throughout the day? Are you properly hydrated?
