My lifts are finally increasing again. My bench has gone back up to 205 lbs for six reps, which I'm sure is no big deal to some of you, but for me it's pretty damn cool to be feeling strong again. I had a back injury that put me out of commission for a while -- to the point that I got really weak. All I was doing was jogging for several years, but now it's time to pack on the muscle.

In addition to the weight training I've done today, I'll probably go jogging later tonight.

Lunges kill me. I can run six miles without being out of breath, but lunges have me breathing hard long afterwards. I don't know that I even need to go running when I can just do lunges. They're much more efficient and difficult.

This bupropion is giving me significantly more energy to exercise. It also makes the exercise high feel much better.

lunges, bench press, leg curls, leg extensions, calf raises, pull ups, pullbacks, back extensions, bicep curls, dips, crunches, military press

Legs, abs, chest, back and arms in one day. It's like you want to be paralysed in your bed for the next two days, overkill :laugh:

lol That's nothing. My body is used to the abuse. I rarely even get all that sore anymore. It was actually a bit of a lazy day, since I didn't do any squats or cardio.

I would probably get better results if I scaled things back or had a split routine, but I can't seem to help myself.

Hopefully now that I'm off this poison (anti-depressant), I'll go back to exercising daily. They're lazy pills. They make exercise miserable. I ain't having none of that anymore. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy body weight are essential to my happiness. Paxil and zoloft made me miserable by causing me to gain weight and making exercise miserable. Poison!

I've strained my upper back muscles doing lunges ffs, so I probably won't be lifting weights for maybe another week.
