I just want to make sure I understand this. If I want to lose weight, I should do heavy weights and short reps? And I guess if I want to gain muscle, I should do lighter weights with more reps?
In general, yes. Heavy weight ensures that you're doing everything that you can to hold onto strength and, second to that, as much muscle as possible while losing weight. Higher reps and lighter weight isn't going to be enough for that purpose, but that WILL help you gain muscle hypertrophy (size) if you're gaining weight.

I've been trying to practice slashing with the swords I've got. They feel rather difficult to control for someone who is rather skinny, but after a single session my arms felt torn, and after recovering I could tell my control was noticeably improved. Also it's not boring like lifting weights.

I've been runninbg more too with the improved temperatures.

Just did my first workout in a little over a week because digestion and sleep have been really bad. Definitely feeling my bench form getting better, but still being held back by my triceps I think because extending to lockout is incredibly difficult. Trying to get better at lean-away lat raises, but it's pretty awkward since my gym doesn't have much to grab on to, I end up leaning away from the smith machine, and there's only a mirror on one side, so I can't really see how my left arm does.

Recently got a Prowler sled and pushed it last night under moonlight. 4 plates was pretty easy until I switched to pulling it, then things started to burn after a minute or two of that.

Such a great low-impact way to get in some conditioning. Joint-friendly but tough.

I need to get a weighted vest to walk in.

It's worth it, along with a reverse hypermachine if you have back pain. The sled I have is the Rogue Slice, which is a more budget-friendly and compact sled.

Also, have you looked into the McGill Big 3 for back pain? It's just 3 rehab exercises you need no equipment for designed by probably the world's leading back pain expert Stuart McGill.

Got a rowing machine. I did a 15 minute class and today my back muscles are feeling it. I think my form is wrong though my legs didn't do much work but my lower back felt pretty tight afterward.

I do this every day (alternate between this video and the new one they just released) and it has basically cured my back pain

I'm gonna check the Stuart McGill rehab too though, I should have learned this lesson earlier but you can never be too careful with back/shoulder injuries. Shit sucks

Ah that explains it then.

Post-gym pump. I'm training around an elbow injury right now and bench pressing with an underhand grip, which doesn't aggravate the golfer elbow syndrome I have.
