I’m alive, and coming back

I go back and forth in my head with trying to stay on a regiment with gym due to spending so many years of my early life running like Forest Gump for no reason. But then I stay on that course for half a year since I started focusing on lifting and no more running and realize that if I get 4 days a week of quality lifts, I’m doing more than enough.
I’m really trying to scale back my workouts/sets per what we discussed @Neuro and cut them from 20 sets per muscle group down to about 14-15. Just wanted you to know I’m two weeks in at only 15 sets per muscle group, which was a little tough on the psyche, but I’m getting used to it.

@Neuro , yes, I just finished up a 6 week routine that was full body training 4x week geared mostly towards building strength/endurance. I had a 2nd workout that was 4x week, two workouts being HIIT, one more of a CrossFit style and one TABATA… however my senior citizen geared gym is very limited on Kettlebells and my buddy’s powerlifting gym being very limited on Kettlebells as well I decided it time to go back to traditional weight training.
Personally, I loved it. The first 4 weeks there wasn’t one day I didn’t leave the gym wrecked the last two weeks not so much as my body was becoming acclimated to the weight. Eventually when our middle daughter moves back out we’re going to re-mod our basement into a home gym and I will have a full set of kettlebells from 2.5 lbs - 100 lbs and I will do the workouts again

I think you will enjoy it. My body felt overall better during the 6 weeks, as far as pain and stiffness in joints that I’m used to living with day to day being reduced… a little lower impact than normal weight training, but still very intense with the short rest times and circuit style training
