I officially quit! I don't want to get stronger. I just want to not look and feel like a tank. Its torture to swim and run when I lift like this. Lifting heavy, for me, is like being married to the wrong person. From now on, I'm all about the core work. The rest of you carry on and I'll read about your exploits!
Fort, is it the HEAVY lifting that bothers you (more weight, low reps)? Maybe it doesn't have to be all or nothing, perhaps alternating a low/high rep workouts, with plenty of core work, would work for you? Or heavy/heavier lifting once a week?
I'm officially broken down too, I skipped weights today and am taking a couple days easy. (Well, easier.)
Paul Smith, about your avatar: is that cat laughing or shrieking? Were you parading about in your tutu again? That could explain either reaction, I suppose...
