One reason I’m increasingly interested in mediocrity as an ethos is that I sense this creeping, paralyzing perfectionism starting to infuse stuff I do. Mediocrity is movement. It is staying in the high reps/volume middle zone rather than wandering into 1RM zone.

Path of least resistance is a good heuristic for this up to a point. Momentum is everything. Stasis is death. Keep moving or die. There are problems here I haven’t sorted out yet, but this is now snowballing into a set of questions for me that I suspect will occupy me all year.

Hmm revealing that you can half-ass form a little bit with weights well within your ability to control, but any form short of perfect will probably seriously injure you in a true one-rep max attempt (which I’ve never attempted, thank you very much... my minimum is 5 reps).

Identify the beliefs driving the perfectionist behavior and feelings and integrate healthier beliefs, especially where you are skilled and have taste for it (the siren’s call). For me, mediocrity is accepting that I’m not super-human (or sub-human for not being ‘perfect’).

It's interesting that 口味=taste, literally (1) mouth[口] taste, actual perceptions. While 品味=taste (many) mouths [品] taste, judging/critic of taste. So I think in your case, tasteless is 品味less, but a different taste口味 is a requisite so one has the sensibility to form it.
