I’ve been going back to the gym for the last few weeks and I like it. I’ve got more energy, I’ve been automatically getting up earlier (waking up near my alarm at 6:15 instead of loathing to move at 7:15, feeling a bit more “in my body”, decreasing my body aches a bit, and starting to look a little better in the mirror. Hurray!<\/p>\n

Schuyler showed me the Stronglifts 5×5 workout<\/a> (Thanks Schuyler!). The promise is to get me in and out of the gym in 30 minutes 3 times per week and it’s working!<\/p>\n

My workout is very simple:
\nStretch, run 5 minutes at 6.5 mph for warmup.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All lifts are 5 sets of 5 lifts, add 5 pounds at every workout session;
\nexcept deadlifts are just 1 set of 5 lifts, add 10 pounds at every workout.<\/p>\n

“A” day workout:
\n* Squat
\n* Bench Press
\n* Barbell Row<\/p>\n

“B” day workout:
\n* Squat
\n* Overhead
\n* Deadlift – just 1<\/strong> set of 5 reps<\/p>\n

I use a google sheet instead of the fancy Stronglifts app.<\/p>\n

Hurray!<\/p>\n

Stay strong!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
