So, who's been up to what lately?

In the last few weeks, I've been going to the gym for the first time in ages.

In the past few years, I've generally been doing bodyweight and kettlebell stuff at home as strength training, and now I've decided to get some barbell work done again, and in particular get back to deadlifting -- partly because I've been having a run of back aches and would like to build up my back strength again, partly because I'd forgotten just how much I enjoy deadlifting.

So I thought I'd check in here and see how everyone else is doing: getting into anything new lately? Learning some new things? Switching training plans? Buying, making or enjoying any new heavy things? Re-starting after time off, or looking to get started? Lurking shyly in the comm?

Recently returned to the gym after years off with job and ankle injury issues, and now very slowly working my back squat and deadlift back to where they were in 2013. I've been given ear'ole about rising blood glucose and bp and would really rather pick up barbells and get my ankles working again than stress over weight loss

Yay barbells!
