lifting_heavy_things | 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?

Life has been kicking my butt lately for reasons unclear to me --it's spring! why the depression symptoms now??

It seems like a bunch of people (me included) made it through winter then crashed in the spring -- no idea WTF's up with that, but you are not alone.

I've been just maintaining a minimum of running, yoga, and a little bodyweight strength training

That's a pretty nice minimum to maintain -- go you! And the "fitness stations" could be fun to play with.

So, who's been up to what lately?
