Zerxen Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anyone here into weightlifting? How'd you get into it and what program/routine do you run? I used to be a 160+ lbs as a 5'5 guy. Decided to do some cardio but ended up too thin at a weight of 120 lbs. I tried bulking up and lifting weights but it turns out that I have trouble getting stronger thanks to a pituitary tumor messing up my hormones. Been taking medication for this but I still continue to struggle. I still weight lift because I find it fun and more engaging than cardio. I am now 155 lbs (not that far away from my old weight) though I am much more leaner than I was back then even though I barely built any muscle. Most of the weight I gained was body fat but nonetheless I have no regrets starting this activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slumber Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Weightlifting is one of those things I do, but I hate talking about. I've been doing it since high school off and on, but I got on my current schedule when I took a weightlifting health class when I was taking classes at a community college about 5 years ago.

thatsleepyguy Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I could talk your ear off about it but I've been slackin. Mumble mumble hard to find a right gym mumble. Hitting those benchmarks is super rewarding. I'll have you know I benched 2 pl8 for a single rep once in my life after [redacted years] in training.
