Quick fatigue
-
Have you ever tried out a weight training exercise you haven't done before – so you pick a weight to start... One rep, you think, "Oh this is easy. I may need a heavier weight." After three reps, you start feeling it. And after six reps, you literally cannot do another one?
Is this normal (especially for underworked muscles)? Or could it be a sign of too much caloric deficit or something?

I haven't had that particular experience but it's muscle fatigue, not caloric deficit.

To gain you are suppose to push yourself.
A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that endurance is the way it's not.
If you have done a proper high intensity work out you should feel fatigued which is why you then need to rest so you end up only working out 3 times a week.
