A few weeks later, I am still paranoid that one side of my body is worked more than another...
it gets to the point that I adjust posture a little every other repetition...
should I just continue as is, or try "squeezing" work on the weaker side?
I'll see you your 60' cliff and raise you 220' into a dry riverbed... Australian not Swiss.I used to run three miles a day, six days a week back in California (I'm a girl). It was AWESOME. And I ate ridiculously healthy (no red meat, no soda, controlled sugars). Never felt better in my life. Then I moved to Oregon, where the humidity made it harder to jog- so instead, I took all-day bike rides and took up rock climbing (you haven't lived 'til you've rappelled sixty feet over an overhanging cliff edge!)
Now, I live in Florida. It's disgustingly hot and humid ALL the time, I get honks and creepy guys when I jog here, and there are NO HILLS so bike riding isn't even exercise. Not to mention, no rocks to climb! No wonder the South is so overweight. I'm getting fat. Can't wait to move back up north, only 4 more months!

Maybe he meant 135lbs with 5 reps of 10. Which sounds normal.
5 reps 135 lb is very little.
Did you count the reps being 10? Because that does sound like enough to me! You wouldn't want to overdo something anyway.
Maybe for minimal sets but somewhere around set 7 or 8 for a smaller/lighter person it will get... interesting.5 reps 135 lb is very little.

For a big person too if they aren't used to endurance lifting. I one hand lift and handle 35 lbs crankshafts all day (8-9 Hr day) like they are nothing. Then again I'm 300lbs, my 180 lbs coworker has to use a crane to match my endurance.

I think this may have something to do with our delicious food as well.
I've been pretty fit most of my life, but since I started college I've slacked off. I really haven't gained any weight, but my endurance is way down. I've been trying to get back into a routine, but there are so many distractions in school.
Has anyone ever tried the P90X ab workout? Thoughts?

Apparently I should hit the gym to exercise regularly, but I've always found doing activities like running and cycling to be more enjoyable. I can't see myself enjoying weightlifting and similar for very long if I do try it out.
You move around a lot. Rock climbing in Oregon had to be awesome.

no, we do as many as we can then take a 5 sec break then continue to do as many as possible and so on until we get 50. btw i forgot to mention this, but after that we do 50-70 hyperextensions with 25lbs attached. 45 with the weight, then 25 without. you wont be able to walk for a while after doing that much.
if you dont know what hyperextensions are, its basically the opposite of situps. instead of facing up and going up, we face down and go up.
5 sets of 10 reps, my bad. He's either really short or really scrawny.5 reps 135 lb is very little.
