what do you call exhausted and fatigued?
is exhasuted after 5 sets, or is exhausted after 2 sets, or 12 sets?
also if your feeling exhausted and fatigued then maybe its not a case of needing to train more but looking at your current routine/plan./structure/diet etc and seeing whats causing you to feel so fatigued
a weeks rest is ussually more then enough time for muscles to recover

Those who say no pain no gain are idiots. There's a difference between normal fatigue and flat out exhaustion. If you keep going you're just opening yourself up to injury and more often than not your go BACKWARDS.
If you're truly drained, as in after you leave the gym and in the days after you have symptoms you don't normally have. Need for excessive sleep, tiredness even when you get "enough", irritiability, unusual soreness, lethargy, even depression and others.
If you've got things like that you need to deload and/or take at least a week off and assess from there. If you keep training you're just going to run yourself into a deeper whole.

Lets say im doing3 exercises of 5 sets with a range of 6-8 reps per set. if i lefted heavy and i feel a pump for the first two exercises. and then i feel that my muscles have been worked and broken down. should i still just continue with the last exercise and just push through the pain(from lactic acid) to ensure optimal growth? or would doing that set me back
my diet (im sure im eating enough macros)and i take vitamins

How about drop a set from each exercise so u have enough energy to do the last one.

There should not be much lactic acid pain from doing 6-8 reps unless you are resting less than a minute between sets.Originally Posted by XRockXStarX
