For context: there was a time several years ago where I went 3 days a week doing a lifting routine. I think my heaviest dead lift was maybe 140lbs.

Two kids later, hernia surgery, and a change in position at work that has me sitting way more (used to do solo IT work for multiple buildings, now I have a team and do mostly back end admin work), and I’ve lost all my gains and put on about 20lbs.

Kids are more manageable now solo, and I’m looking to hit the gym every Monday I can.

How do I maximize this time?

Thanks in advance comrades!

    I got to at a minimum drop my weight. All my weight goes to my gut and I’ve already had a belly button hernia fixed once. So I need to get that under control.

    Beyond that, get strong again and get back into lifting, maybe. Just something I can measure progress in easily. Lifting was great for that.
