Due to work, limited time, bad weather etc. The past 2 months or a little less I've only been able to 4 times a week, with just a little cardio at times, just hiking bc I love to be outside.

But I look a hell of alot better than before. Not much change in my diet or exercises, just lifting less. I can see easily that I'm putting on lean mass. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I feel really good too lately.

Am I just getting a little older or should I have backed it down to this the whole time? I used to like to lift extremely hard 6 days a week, when I train I still go hard and do alot of volume but I've just been spacing out training sessions longer and it seems to be helping.

What do yall think?
