I don’t know when I’ve felt so indecisive about how to do the weight-lifting. It started when I read The Power of 10 book and tried it. I did it for a little while – 6 weeks I guess – but kept skipping sessions and finally just tapered off altogether. Recently I looked at past weight lifting logs and concluded that I’d made the most progress using the BFL program. So I decided to go with that again, even photocopied the forms. Then I read that 1 set (slow 6 reps) is enough for upper body, while lower body progress is greater with 3 sets.
Now it’s time to fill out the forms for a session this afternoon, and I still feel completely stuck. I chose exercises for LBW (lower body workout), but the UBW doesn’t include forearm exercises, which I think I really need in order to protect my elbow. I’m starting to feel desperate. This feels ridiculous. So I decided to do a Visit to my Dream Studio, to consult my Older Self. (She's in her eighties and in great shape, can forge all day if she wants - so she must know how to do this.)
I posted the whole dialogue as a story.
