No, I wouldn't say it really made me tired but I was watching the time and knew I was going to do DL's for the first time in a while, so I didn't want to go balls-to-the-wall on the leg press. Also, knees have been complaining, I think because of the running, so I'm easing back into my max weights.
And yes, yes, yes, on the lunges. I also do step-ups with dumbbells when the platform is free, but I try to mix it up. I'm a 48-hour guy so long about Wednesday night I will be hating life (just in time for a 12-mile bike ride if the weather holds).
I have to pick a new primary-care doctor and--reading about your travails--I want to find one with some sports-care background so I can talk about these things without getting "Why are you doing that?" My last PCP's answer to questions about that stuff was "Because you're old" ... he was kidding but sort of dismissive about it; people alot older than us do this stuff and I want someone who takes it seriously.
