"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."

In the swing/snatch of things
It was good to get back to my regular schedule. I was seriously itching to train again although the last two weeks of relative inactivity and lack of intensity has left me a bit smaller and softer and less conditioned.
I know it will come back asap but these first few workouts are always harder than you want them to be; not from the loading but the weights feel heavy, lol. Even the light 24 kg,lol
But one has to sack up and just get it done or weakness, both mental and physical will creep in and take over. It's more than a slippery slope, it's an ice field; a few steps down the path and it's a freefall into laziness. Not for me cause I ain't gonna let it happen.
7-8 am Full stretchout
the whole kit and the kaboodle.Shoulder and back( even knee) feel good.
8am

band rear delts

given all my in activity of late I was actually itching to do more. good feeling. I survived the windmills and 1/4 getups nicely too, a good sign as well.
