I'm in the same boat. I used to work out 2-3 times a week, then down to once a week. Now I'm back trying to go 2-3 times a week but find I'm not doing as strenuous a workout or covering all major muscle groups. I work out at the gym at the office during breaks in the day so I can't get too sweaty. It's been a few months since I ran regularly too, but that's probably because it's 95-100 F outside.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I haven't tried yet, was too exhausted by the end of it.Originally Posted by Animeniax
Did you feel a difference from doing it with the new form? When I started doing them correctly, even at lower weight, I was tired out a lot more noticeably than when I was doing it the wrong way.

I definitely feel less strain on my lower back. That also might be because the muscles involved have gotten used to being used.
You're definitely in much better shape than I am. When I did them incorrectly I was breezing through deadlifts. When I did them the correct way I felt like puking after 3 sets. Deadlifts tax your back, shoulders, and legs, so they wear you out pretty good. At least they did to me.

I gym about 5 days a week. 2 days on and 1 day off.
I did one rep of 225 lbs today. Felt good on the way up. The lightheadedness started to kick in on the way down. Felt like I could've went higher, but not risking to look like this guy here.

anybody here wearing a fitbit wristband?
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I don't, but speaking of fitbit wristbands, here's an interesting post I found on reddit.
Wore my Fitbit heart rate monitor during sex. Beautiful./
Hey, guys, how's everyone's goals so far?
Only reached one of my goals; here are my new #s (in lbs):Started to seriously lift in January. Here are my PRs so far:
Bench: 5x 125 lb
Squat: 5x 225 lb
Deadlift: 5x 315 lb
Didn't make much gains until last month when I switched to a new plan composed entirely of all compound exercises. Goal for the summer is to get to 200/300/400 lbs, hopefully, but it might take another year before I reach that.
Bench: 5x170
Squat: 5x365
Sumo Deadlift: 5x335 (5x395 for conventional deadlift, but switched over to sumo)
Just saw this video from Reddit. It's a parody of Drake's song Back to Back and it's about gym etiquette. Pretty hilarious.
