So I've been lifting for almost 9 months now and I've decided to recently incorporate Muay Thai into my routine after my lifts for some cardio. Thing is though, it's very time-consuming given my work schedule and everything. Plus, maaaan do I get extremely exhausted afterwards Because of this...

It took me about 3 years to hit 1/2/3/4 plates for at least 5 reps for OHP/Bench/Squat/Deadlift. I'm pretty proud of my progress all things considered but at the same time a little dismayed considering I've read stories online on how a lot of people managed to hit that milestone more or less...
