I like lifting weights. It reminds me of coding. Both are mostly solitary activities. At this point, I just enjoy the activity even if the physical benefits don't improve much.

If you want to nerd out lifting theory, I suggest https://www.barbellmedicine.com/ .

Interesting to see this here. I got some internet coaching from Jordan when he was still affiliated with Starting Strength. I'm curious, if you don't mind, how did you find Barbell Medicine?

Not that guy but I bought one of their strength templates. I found them through Alan Thrall's YouTube channel.

Thralls channel is a lot of fun!

As it's been 2 years or so, I'm not sure I remember. It may have been YouTube->5x5->Squat Form-> Alan Thrall on YT->Barbell Medicine.

As an academic, I like the way the doctors approach terminology of lifting and describe evidence-based reasoning for recommendations.
