Post surgical mental skill experiment: greater awareness
The lifts are still a problem. Experiencing the squat was again unsuccessful and insisting on it resulted in an ugly accident imaged scene (one I never had, falling facedown). Benching again was easy and better than yesterday. The deadlift was different: although I managed to approach the bar, grab it and start sumo-lifting it, the experience immediately became observer-like.
I failed to mention that until Monday I had a hard time with what I can only understand as a post-surgical depression. I managed to keep the breathing exercises every day, but depression and a weird disconnected feeling came in waves. Monday was the first day I went back to the gym and used machines for some resistance training. If for that or because surgery meds just wore off, I feel pretty stable since then.
