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!

    This has kind of already been implied by others, but it’s worth considering if you can take just 5 - 10 minutes at home to do some combination of pushups, planks, squats, etc. on other days

      Yeah this is good advice and something I needed to hear honestly. I could probably get some kettle bell swings in after work some days before we get the kids. Maybe skate out early from work or buz home after dropping the kids off at daycare. I have the luxury of working in the town I live in, gotta commit to cashing that in I think.
