I'm starting to get back into weight lifting with my new friend. He wanted to hang out at bars and restaurants in an expensive area. He makes more money than me, so he could afford to do that a lot, but I can't. So I suggested that we hang out doing something cheaper (and more helpful too) -- weight lifting.

I saw a personal trainer a while ago and he came up with routines for different muscle groups (with an emphasis on building muscle). So I took these routines and I'm using them with my friend. So far we're lifting 3 times a week.

When I used to lift back in the day, I did it by myself, so it was harder to get motivated to go to the gym. But it's much easier when you have someone else who is expecting you to go with them too.
