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...
Heavy. I've lifted light the whole time I've been swimming. (Never done high rep workouts though, so that holds somewhat more appeal.) Just intensely dislike feeling broken down from weights. It's a different kind of broken down. And if swimming and running become torture, and I feel like an age grouper, is it worth it?
I thought about alternating. But would lifting heavy 1x a week really help and make a difference? I've also thought about doing fewer exercises so as to not get completely beaten up.
