I'm fine with soccer, boxing, cycling and swimming being my main 4 out of gym activities for next year. That and the occasional hike
Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Man I don't know what's up, my bench feels like it's getting weaker, but my deadlift is getting stronger, struggled to hit 235 on bench for reps, but knocked 325 for reps on deadlift and banged out 395 with little to no issues.

Anyone ever have a palm injury affecting their pushing exercises 
Starting to understand why some people don't like taking a week off...
Good little leg day squats feels so much better.
Some things don’t change regardless of gym. Hog an entire rack to do a whole stretch routine to 1/4 squat 135 and then slap 225+ plus on there for the same ROM :heh

I've never been in the agreement that sit-ups are bad for you or give limited results. I find them to be very effective.
I've never had back issues with them, and I see fast results from them. The only knock is that they don't target your lower ab area as much. I can live with that and do other exercises to make up for it.

Probably anatomy based to some degree. If you are top heavy with bad form snapping your shyt up can happen.
It’s important to take extended rest especially if you’re really active.
A lot of times people plateau or overtrain because they don’t rest enough.
I take certain things like rain or any time of doms as a sign to rest a bit more. I usually come back with an edge, indicating that my body needed more rest.

There are way too many unknowns for anyone to give you a good answer. How long have you been lifting? How often do you lift? What does your routine look like? Are you seeing progress on your other lifts? What are you doing on none lifting days? There are so many factors that can impact your progress. Why do you take 3 1-2 breaks a year?
Gym won’t open until 10am tomorrow and my flight is at 11am.
Ended up doing a combined upper and lower day. Upper body was standard but for lower, I did a bunch of walking lunges with 35lbs kettlebells.
Great workout before my holiday. Will need to sort out this groin/spine injury and get back to it

On my way home from holiday. Getting back to the gym tomorrow morning (my Crossfit box has a Christmas themed workout). Want to get back to lifting ASAP
