Less gym time, same results: Why ‘lowering’ weights is all you need to do

I had the exact same experience and have recently given up. Tried to lift less, eat better, etc. No matter what, I would randomly get really exhausted for 3-4 days. It just wasn't sustainable.

My new years resolution is to quit lifting and find any exercise routine that's sustainable and doesn't drain my energy.

Have you seen a doctor? Because your body should not respond so negatively.

It may also be worth exploring joint health supplements. https://bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/dietary-supplement...

I can’t imagine whatever you two have going on is indicative of good joint health, so supplementing some support may be a good idea for you even if you stick to your resolution. Of course, I think this is good advice, but I don’t know if these supplements are contraindicated for you somehow, so you should see a doctor either way, imo.
