Getting Heavy

Gosh I am enjoying lifting heavy (for me) weights. 

I'm doing bench press, one armed row and deadlifts on a ma x strength routine doing sets at 3-5 reps as heavy as I can handle.

It's rewarding in a number of ways
- Learning new techniques 
- Finding new Youtube stars (Alan Thrall is a hoot)

- Starting over as a novice and setting new PBs
- Feeling so much better.

The last is probably the best. Cycling is great but it is biased in terms of what how it gets you fit. Heavy weights are probably at the opposite extreme and I can feel the results already. Just feel more balanced, especially posterior chain.
