^Just for the record, because it doesn't show the description in the embedded video, this is 220kg ( 485 lbs ) and his current category is -77kg.  So even if he is around 85 now it is still 2.5*BW.

yay working out. also i finally started to push the furniture around in the spare bedroom, which is the only room in the house with an actually flat floor AND floor space.

fuck the man.

re: getting up earlier, last night at 10:30 my gf was just like, let's go to bed. we're usually up much later. we didn't even go right to sleep, but turning the lights out that early just shifted everything. i woke up before 7, almost an hour before my alarm. lollygagged in bed for a while, but that is a good sign.

also motivation to train is starting to come back. been excited about trying some things today for the first time in a while. need to do a little something, at least, every day. every day. every day.

learning a pistol squat might be next. i can bang them out in squatting shoes but have never been able to do one barefoot on the flat ground. that's a good skill.

Morning BW: 78.5kg

Rest day today. [lol nvm]

Workout

Breathing ladder (i.e. only breath through nose, break between sets is time it takes to make equal number of nose breaths to the reps done]

Kettlebell swing @ 16kg for 1-20-1 - 39:30

Benchmark set. Will get better control of breathing + also need kinda stronger p-chain, or p-chain endurance, for this. 400 total reps.

oooh i love this. was thinking about getting a KB the other day. there's one shop here that sells 'em for $5 a kilo.

if you go two pages back in his journal he describes, in detail, the turns his life has taken that have led him to detrain.
