i had to lift for 8 years to be able to do stronglifts 5x5 and not feel completly dead afterwards. i went thru depression pretty much my whole life lmao. i took meds and found out who i was again, it's a very similar feeling to childhood, so i now for a fact i was not getting high on the anti depressant, i was being myself. now i feel like if i was on meds but i'm not, i can lift the same amount of weight and keep working for the rest of the day with a clearer mind (i like to lift in the morning)i had the thought that what i feel during a 5x5 is what a bodybuilder feels while doing a higher rep range, i mean, the brain and muscle tension and feel. imma keep doing 5x5, cause i still feel like it's an ok amount of volume. no point in doing more right now, i'm still making progress.another thing that's been helping a lot is cycling. i have a perfect squat because of cycling. it's the kind of activity which is recreational and fun, you push hard but you don't notice cause it's fun. cycling indoors is torture.
