LOL! God I have though, even if it sometimes may not appear that way 'Life' comes first, and if things need missing, they get missed for actual priorities (of which exercise is not one!) But I will always have a love of exercise let's put it that way I just don't *need* to do it now, and it's not everything, nor close to everything. I have lots of other 'life' outside of exercise where we all know I once didn't. I just want to still do too many things- this has definitely not changed One major change I'm finding is my age

So the consensus is I am overdoing it? Do I have to accept that even though there's only 4 weights sessions here with everything else this is too much?

I also don't 'race' like a lot of people on this site, or really 'train' because I can't be bothered and am basically now too lazy :o

Gymfreak - I don't think anyone could ever call you lazy. I used to do 4 weight sessions a week, but alternate upper and lower body and allow 48 hours recovery before doing another session the same type, and eat something to help recovery post session. When I snuck in another session my instructor said I was doing too much and counter productive and sent me home 😊 I'm not doing 4 sessions a week now as recovering from knee injury but hope to resume fairly soon. |

Gymfreak, you can make your own protein shakes using non-flavoured protein powder e.g. hemp powder, pea protein or rice protein. These powders are ultra processed in the way that flour is 🤷🏻♀️ but don’t contain any additives - just 100% hemp, pea, rice … mix with milk/plant-milk and add cocoa powder and/or “processed” banana or frozen fruit to make a smoothie, no need to add sugar or artificial sweetener. Mix one every morning and consume as a supplement to boost any low protein meals or snacks through the day

Crawled in to my PT session this morning after a restless night. Bounced out with an unexpected deadlift PB of 6×55kg 💪 |
