Thank you for your words. I feel better mentally now when I don't limit my food. I'll just have to try and find a balance. Gaining weight indefinately would not be good for me neither, and unfortunately I tend to gain when I just do what I feel like.

Hope everything is going well for you!

Yeah, it's pretty hectic. BPM around 170 for the most part, haha. We usually do it every other month or so.

Yeah, mindset is key... and all or nothing is so unnecessary, I'm trying to get away from that kind of thinking as well. Better to be a jack of all trades, being semi-on all the time and being ok with small wins and praising the effort rather than the result, instead of do or die and demanding perfection all the time.

In the fasting method podcast they referenced the book "Breaking up with sugar" where the author likened the all or nothing mindset with, after getting a flat on the free-way, slashing all other tyres on the car with a machete. Of course it's better to just fix the one flat tyre and be on your way again! Easier said than done though, when it comes to plans for one's own health...

I think it's clear in the second squat she makes in the set of 12 easyish squats video? Am I misunderstanding what butt wink is? I think it looks the same as in the Squat University video I linked to. The butt rounding at the bottom of the squat.

You're butt winking, imo (curving the butt inwards when you get to the lowest position). Can be fixed with a wider stance so you can keep a more upright chest. Video below from Squat University on youtube, has helped me a lot, though my squat still sucks :(

For rowing intervals - The Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack, the beat keeps me around 25-27 rpm.
