@asdtmr12 3 hours spent lifting is excessive. I personally train 5x week with 90-120 minute sessions and they honestly beat the shit out if me. Laser focused and I never socialize. Some would call this excessive but I love training so I do it.

@denise4god Great work on the recomp! I'm on the same journey myself after a 2 year break but started back up in April 2021. I feel worlds better now that I'm lifting regularly again.
