Good news: I can now do single leg squats/lunges with this giant monstrosity of a dumbbell off the highest couch in my house with moderate ease.
And remember, I'm holding this thing with my arms because I hate myself haha. Like this:
The bad news: Eh, instability is still causing me to rotate to my right side. Basically, my left shoulder blade is weak --> Leading my right shoulder blade to be chronically overused and tight --> My entire right side of the body then gets tight, which twists my body in that direction.
It really is annoying haha, though 100x better than even a year ago.
It's mostly annoying because it keeps me from jumping back into MMA. Yes, it's fun looking like I lift and having the musclez, but you know what's cooler than big biceps?
Being able to do shit like this:
Though biceps are fun too 
It's just infuriating at times because the body I was born with doesn't want to cooperate... Then again, no complaints, because some people on this very site have it MUCH worse than I do.
Now to keep kicking some ass!
... how many kilos does that monster weight
?

*whips out calculator*
Only 56 kgs
Which really shows how much position makes a difference. I'm holding this in my palms and kinda far out in front of me, so it feels a lot heavier than a 100 kg bar resting over my shoulders in a Front Squat position, for example.

And you're doing the 'lunge' holding THAT
?! Holy shit, man, that's fucking awesome 
!
When I bought my 2x20 Kg dumbbells, I could barely get them from the courier's car to my home. And I had to drop the weight to 10 Kg for each hand to be able to exercise at all. And you're exercising holding THAT thing? Damn... just... DAMN
!
You have no idea how I fucking hate you right now
!

As far as I know, you don't have genetic joint issues, so I hate you more
But thanks! Haha. Though I feel weak as shit, considering I want to at the very least spar intensely in the heavyweight division, which is full of guys like this :

Random, but I thought you might appreciate this story.
I recently nearly gave myself a hernia with these unilateral squats. Weight was around 50kg, so a bit lighter than the one in this pic, but I legit thought I'd ruptured my asshole or something mid-set
But then of course I continued to keep going after this

... man, the images in my mind right now...

Lol, no lie, stuff like this is part of the fun.
The one thing I am scared of, though, is a rectal prolapse. Google at your own risk...

(Un)Fortunately, I already knew what that was...
On a probably not-so-related note - did you ever try water fasting? Sorry if that sounds weird but you seem like one of the people crazy enough, and with enough willpower to try it 
...

Water fasting for fat loss? Or to clear out "toxins?"
5507922
The first one, but also out of morbid curiosity (what will happen after 84 hours on the water alone), to train strong will and... to 'connect with your inner self' as some describe it.
I plan to try it from Friday to Tuesday to switch my body to 100% ketosis and see what the hell will happen. Just looking for someone who would give some first-hand tips.

In that case, I can't say much since I've never done it.
I have done intermittent fasting (regularly up to 18+ hours of fasting at a time), but that's it. You should ask someone who's done this, since I have no experience with it.

Gotcha, it was just a thought. If I manage to pull it off, I will share my experiences in a blog
.

I'd be interested in a blog.
You might be a bigger madman than me
