"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

24 kg Snatch and Swings
I was worried that I was going to hurt something today because I felt so good going in. Slept well, ate well, stretched out well this morning so I was a bit concerned :))
Good news was that nothing bad happened and the workout went great. Nick was out today so it was just Glenn and me. It's amazing the progress he has made in the 6 short months since he began kb training with me.He hung with me set for set and rep for rep.Amazing.

x10/10
x5/5 x 3 sets
120 reps
6480 lbs
thank goodness I broke past 108 reps ,lol.
these went great although looking at the video I think my left leg is too wide. With my weird ass left knee finding "center" is not an easy thing.Wider feels better but I have to take more care to set up more evenly.It's way too easy for me to set up on my stronger right leg and have my left leg too far 'left' :))
Anyway the groove felt very solid in all parts, the layback was solid, the rotation of the arm ( need more on my right it seems) helped lock the elbow better, the 'shock absorb' in the hole felt solid and the hip snap high pull worked well too. These were as easy as they've been ever. Nice.
One arm swings
24 kg x 10/10 x 5 sets
100 reps;
5400 lbs
These went very well, Haven't gone "light" in the swing in awhile so it was nice. Could have done more but left feeling fresh. nice.
One arm shield casts
10 lb cb x 10/10
15 lb cb x 10/10 x 2
these were just a finisher. solid workout. time to eat.
Datsit.
