Has anyone experienced similar effects after weights training?
Like a feeling of being drained/weak and anxious after the workout and the next day. Hard to describe.
Makes it hard to continue to keep training, supposed to feel good after a workout but after weights I dont.
Doesn't happen after going for run/playing game of football.

I try to keep my diet in check but due to work obligations I am limited to
choice and options of foods I can consume. I really dont think diet is an issue though.

You're contradicting yourself here. What is your diet like?

Are you new to training?

Maybe a clearer way to put it is, I work in a remote area and can only have a diet of what is provided in the canteen where I work. I prefer fresh foods and meats if at all possible but at work it's not really possible. Frozen vegetables and cheap fatty cuts of meats/chicken are the norm which is a real pain.

When I'm not working I buy better stuff which is every 5th week.

I'm not new to training but haven't been training much for weights for the last year or two. Gyms bore the st out of me. I try to keep to my workouts to full body ones in an active form 2/3 times a week.

Last gym session 5 exercises x 5 rounds x10 reps or as many as I can do towards 4 and 5 round. Couple mins rest between rounds while I get back into it.

Bench press
Pull ups
Deadlift
Press up
Military press

The only real thing I can put it down to is not enough sleep. I always like to get min 8 hours sleep but working long hours this doesn't always happen.

Just wondering if anyone else had the same problems otherwise I will just have to try to change my routines somehow to see what makes me feel better.

Can you not make up your own nutritious lunch the night before/the morning before you go to work? I would! (or are you working away from home)?

What you eat is just as important, if not more, as the weights.

I have no options for eating other than in the canteen because of my location.
There are no grocery stores/restaurants or the likes where I am.
Yes I know diet is as important if not more so, when trying to be in a particular
shape or for certain goals but I dont see that as a factor with this issue.
My diet is reasonable for sure could be improved but in my current situation not much.

It is a strange one and probably one I will have to decipher by myself through elimination...

Why can't you make your own lunch and bring it in though?
