I do a good bit of weight lifting, typically 4 or 5 times a week. I find it a great way to disconnect and focus on something very simple / straightforward for an hour. Its also a great way to relieve stress.
+1 for weight lifting/training. I'm more on the powerlifting style than Olympic Weightlifting.I go four times a weel and I've been following variations of 5/3/1 for about 5 years now. If anyone wants level up their strength and health I heartily recommend it.
I don't primarily train for my physique. When people lift weights, people can have different aims in mind. Olympic Weightlifters become more explosive and better at the Olympic lifts. Body builders train for muscle size and definition. My primary aim is to see the weights I lift get heavier and heavier from week to week and month to month. As a result of that, my physique is better than it was before, but I would never be mistaken for a mens fitness cover model.
