I almost started to write more about emotional dysregulation, but I simply don't have the mental energy for it now.
Instead, I'll write about the purchase I made yesterday. In a way, it relates to my thought process for buying the new cycle; having proven to myself that riding is one of the few things that really resonates with me, I justified buying such an expensive thing by reminding myself that I put almost 100k miles on my old bike in the years I've had it.
I'm applying that same idea to my fitness. While true that I often fail to keep up with my strength routines after only a few months, I think I've proven to myself that I (enjoy?) it by continuously returning to it (I have spreadsheets of workout programs going back to 2008). With this in mind, (and considering I bought that Axle bar & am constantly using it now), I finally bought something that I've been wanting since I started training with the strongman guys (in 2012 or so?) - a strongman yoke. I kept telling myself that it cost too much, and I'd probably just give up on workouts again anyway, but I've been watching this site for a few months, and this one is on sale for about 25% off, which is hard to beat. I'll be able to use it for carries, as well as bag-over-bar lifts, and I'm actually a bit excited about it!
I also bought a couple small things for overhead pressing; a viking press 'landmine' handle, and an adapter so that, rather than putting the other end of the bar on the floor, I can place it higher on the rack storage pin.
I'm looking forward to being able to do things that I've previously had to go elsewhere to do, and I'm hoping these will help with my desire to continue my training beyond the typical couple months where I burn out on it.
