I started S&S as soon as it appeared on Amazon Kindle. I was, and am, very excited about the <i>near</i> everyday aspect of it as I see that as something that contributes to forming good habits. My problem, even though I've been out of the Corps for 43 years, I'm still ate up with gung ho.
I've been making good progress (upping the bell size set by set) . I went back to work after the end of year break and was surrounded by sick people, and I caught a cold. That's supposed to just be irritating but early in catching it I noticed weakness (wobbly get-ups) and had to back off. At the moment I'm skipping training completely to avoid getting myself hurt (still sick). I suspect that the very noticeable weakness that came with a common cold is a dead canary telling me that I'm pushing too hard for the frequency of training that I'm trying to maintain. All that to ask this...
How do the gung ho among you progress and not push too hard for this program? I tend to not go to failure by making "that got hard to maintain proper form" my tell. I suspect that my limit should be sooner. But I don't know where that is since finding a limit implies finding it. What is the tell? How do you progress without pushing too hard? Seems like a stupid question, but I struggle with it.
