I realized in 2009 that i needed to get back in the gym. Was at 205 then and not feeling good. Been in the gym about 4 days a week since then, 1 day of interval traing on the treadmill and 3 days of lifting. I started with a day dedicated to each muscle group (back day, leg day, etc) but didn't really feel like i was getting stronger. Now i am doing a full body routine focusing on compound movements such as squats, deadlifts and pull ups. Down to about 180 and definitely added some muscle, but have plateaued out. What other conpound exercises should i be focusing on now to bust through the plateau? Also, i hate the intervals, but figured it would help get the fat off, is it reslly needed?
