We explore central nervous system (CNS) fatigue, focusing on its role in heavy lifting and strength training.

Inspired by a listener’s question, we delve into the nature of CNS fatigue, its common misinterpretations in gym culture, and what scientific research reveals about it.

We clarify the distinctions between CNS fatigue, peripheral nervous system (PNS) fatigue, and mental fatigue, debunking prevalent myths and highlighting the true factors affecting gym performance.
