I train 3x a week one of the days being legs.. I've tried to increase weight but my back feels uncomfortable with anything more then 250..
1 leg day per week likely isn't enough for strength or physique gains.
Define "uncomfortable". If it hurts like injury is pending then that's one thing. Otherwise you gotta push through. There is isn't a way to lift heavier with doing exactly that.

Have to scale it back a little bit dealing with these nagging injuries 
I can't just stop going to the gym, otherwise I'll really be pissed off all the time...so I'll just hit it a little more moderately and listen to my body
The gains don't stop tho

Word of advice: DO NOT do heavy deadlifts when you're trying to get over a cold. 
I had to keep stopping because I thought I was gonna pass out.
That was at 12:30 this afternoon and I'm still feeling woozy.

Ain't work out consistently in like 6months, still in good shape surprisingly. Decided to rid myself of LA fitness. While my tenure there was cool, the gym just gets way too crowded during peak times, when I went to workout or they close too early 10-11pm. Or I have to go to a further location, in the hood with crappy equipment. Just wasn't worth it to me....
Now I'm putting aside a little bit each check, to cop 24 hour fitness, $400 for 2 years from Costco, should be back in full circuit by mid February.
I'm the type of cat, that I'll be putting in work at 12am if i ain't getting some ass or need to be up early the next day.....
Can't wait....
@Dak_Brehscott the summer still ain't yours

Breh they dont go into depth for muscle recovery after workouts in those classes. Ive known protein helps repair and build muscles but they dont teach u what ive learned through research. We take a very basic nutritonal class. Plus i took the class back in 2003. Do u know how much shyt has changed since then? The basics are the same but a lot has been discovered since then
