tell me about it....i just had my car wrecked becaue of fatigue .., I was doing squats and dead lift at the same session on one Friday night. Slept for 10 hours, and wake up the next morning, went for cardio for 30 minutes, didnt eat breakfast properly. Went to the office on Saturday, while driving on the way back home, the legs refused to communicate with the brain. I hit the back of a lorry, lucky nothing happen to me or the wifey. My legs was just too tired to find the brake pedal, instead of hitting the brakes i hit the clutch..I never for once in my 14 years of driving experience, confuse the cluth with the brake. Needless to say, the front of my truck was damaged, and insurance quoted rm4k of repairs on my side. I didnt notice the fatigue I was experincing until the accident happend. It was like day dreaming and has a bit ganja-induced high to it. Lesson learned th hard way.

Workout smart but not to hard. It's also about recovery, eat properly. You know what they say, workout is 40% in the gym and 60% recovering.

I'm guessing it was CNS fatigue, because i was kinda slow and all my response time like talking and motor skill were whacky. That's why I think it was CNS fatigue. Its not the normal tiredness...its hmm like I said..drug induced high..funky feeling.

Maybe its overtraning like u said. I dont know, but definately dont want to experience it again.

Prior to the accident, I was doing Squat and DL on the same session every other day.

How did your CNS fatigue felt like ?


fleshwound...thankgod, very lucky becasue the airbag didnot go off. The wifey and I were not wearing seatbelts, and in the split seconds of the accident I can see, from the impact, she had her head n the dashboard where the airbag was. My chest hit the steering wheel also, but lucky us, the air bag did not go off.
