I've traditionally lifted heavy, mostly the standard compound (squad, deadlift, etc) lifts and mostly for strength. That shit gets hard on the joints though, recovery periods get longer and longer, more days or weeks off for small tweaks, injuries etc. All of it just makes it easier to skip workouts. I switched to kettlebell complexes 2 months ago to try to get more cardio stress built in to a compact strength building working, and just have something that I can do every day (I bought a few and just do them out on the deck after I finish my morning coffee most days) that still keeps me strong and I fucking love it.
Now...I don't know how that's going to work in the winter, but that's a problem for 5 months from now.
