Workout Stuff
I'm not sure what to call it. Workout ADD? A bad case of the borings? I dunno. A bunch of people praised the results of my hardwork at the convention last weekend, and yet I still feel compelled to re-evaluate what I'm doing. Undoubtedly the seriously jacked-up shoulder is part of it (turns out what I feared was a rotator cuff tear is actually a gross muscle imbalance between my traps and my upper pectoral). I turned to some new information sources on how to fix it, but this has got me second-guessing my gymnastics goals.
See, I'm doing Gymnastic Bodies with some kettlebells in between. It's going fine but it's very slow. How slow? I'll likely complete the program sometime in my mid-40s. Not the end of the world, especially since I seem to never ben lacking for strength and endurance at the kung fu school. My body control is continually improving too (I can do a planche tuck consistently, and I've about got a half back lever; knocking on the door of a handstand too). and yet this (admittedly mild) dysmorphia endures. Down this road lies anorexia, bulima, and other issues.
I need to be doing less, not more. and yet there's part of me that won't stop until I can do everything in Gymnastic Bodies, Simple & Sinister, and Convict Conditioning. And once I can do all of that, then I'll try to go back to barbells, or I'll start doing exploisive calisthenics.
and all the while, my shoulder is raging at me.
