so good, best in a while. one was 36, banged the bottom of my palm on the rim. easy, easy dodgeball dunks.

- stretch

notably, jogging to and from the gym felt GREAT. my body just wanted to propel itself forward, legs felt springy, low effort.

man it just sounds like you need a new challenge and, as always, to get out of your own head and stop beating yourself up. some ideas, all of which i'm completely serious about:

1. dancing. wish i was a better dancer. can be really good exercise, but not draining. learn how to salsa or rumba or swing or something. keep lifting in the background but dance. and start dropping some panties, if you're into that sort of thing.
2. yoga. pick a position that you can't do and work toward being able to do it.
3. some kind of aerobic shit, do a long distance swimming comp or something.
4. your idea about really high rep lifting seems like a good one. sets of 20 and plate swings and shit. work up to 100x20 squat, or 120x20.
5. build some strongman-type implements and fuck around with them. you train at home, why not get a truck tire or make yourself a sandbag or two?
6. sprint. go check out what acole was doing these past few months and just do that.

anyway you'll probably disregard all that, which is fine. just trying to think of things you could distract yourself with while still being productive.

i think i herniated a disc just watching that video.

yep, chris, we've all been trying to tell him that for years now.

Getting impatient and demotivated. It took a long time and hard work to make 120kg a warmup weight on squats. Now it's back to being an impossible grind. And i don't see how to change that short of investing months of building up my squat. Wish there was a magic way to do it but there isn't, mediocre squatting is just the norm and takes a great deal of effort to overcome it.

i'm there with you right now. squatting 205 for sets of 6. sucks.

in english, we generally say "cosine."
