Summary
Tundra 91781's fatigue began while training twice a day for MMA and powerlifting; overtraining was suspected but the cause was never pinned down. A few years in, a full year off all training helped in some ways, yet the fatigue kept worsening. For most of 2024 they managed manual labor and gym sessions with difficulty, then crashed in September 2024 and had not recovered by February 2025.
