Partly because of how little I had to think about it. There was no anxiety of fitting this or that movement in, etc.
This! show up, do your workout, done, no thinking, no anxiety

Training anxiety is a big contributer to missing a lot of training lately. I have to move some intimidating to me weight to make progress now. I am aging rapidly. I am heavier than I have ever been. It takes longer to get safely warmed up. I know it will cause discomfort. It requires complete focus. Recovery requires more time, and work. I cannot get injured. Time and other obligations interfere. All things I am not fully committed to right now.
I trained exclusively Olympic Weightlifting for 15 years, and competed regionally and nationally for about 10 years, and I learned conquering your fear is the single biggest part of making a lift or not. If do not think you can pull under, commit fully and aggressively, you will fail, it will hurt. When I started Weightlifting my coach told me "Everyone finds out why the plates are the size they are." I have more than a few times.
I had been enjoying heavy training, and keeping everything in balance until recently. I need to step back, lower my expectations, and shift priorities for a while.
chinups and farmers carries go very well with S&S!
If you have the grip strength to go with it, all these are hard on the grip
I have taken 2 10 day breaks this year, and plan to take another in December. It's one of the better things I have done for myself.

Never let life get you down, or feel sorry for yourself. Many people have it way worse than you.
