Sounds like some goals to work for are in order. If I don't have specific goals I begin to loose my focus too.

i agree with you. i may have to take up GS like you:)

Btw, how are the gs bells? Do you like them better?

The GS bells are different. The main difference is that they are all the same size regardless of weight. This becomes critical when learning technique, as you don't have to change your technique as the weight goes up. Unlike the DD or PB bells where the ball gets progressively bigger as the weight goes up. I would say that all the balls are about the size of a DD or PB 32 kg. The handles are also narrower which helps preserve the grip with long sets of snatches, but also requires the building of some new callouses. At this point my GS bells are all I use. You should give GS a try. It is a nice change in pace and has some built in goals if you try to get ranked.
