"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 Snatches and Two hand swings
I've been feeling surprisingly square and plumb lately, ever since my right rib went back into place :)) Been finding a few very key points to work on and they seem to be opening up everything else. We'll see how long that holds but I woke up early ready to go and didnt' need much stretching or rolling at all. In fact, almost none.
Some back bends over the ball and some thai squats and I was good to go. That is a first for sure.
Snatch
warmup: 16 kg one arm swings 5/5/5 x 3
snatch
16 kg x 5/5
x3/3
20 kg x 3/3
24 kg x 5/5
x 6/6
x7/7
x8/8
x9/9
x10/10
pretty damn easy. Glenn is still out so it was just Nick and I and we went I go you go so it was very quick pace with no worries. Max Vo2 training always ups my cardio strength and work capacity very quickly.
I wanted to focus today on heavier two hand swings and we did a pr for volume with the 24 last week so this was a good compromise. Decrease the volume but up the intensity ( number of reps per set). felt solid and, most importantly, nothing hurt :))
Two Hand swings
24 kg x 10
28 kg x10
32 kg x 10
36 kg x 10
these felt great too and I've had NO back issues with this move lately. Maybe the curse is over and I can really own this move.It was good to go heavy , too.Sorry about the vertical camera orientation but I got a new "Bloggie" and didn't realize to get it into a landscape mode it has to be on it's side. Ack. Next time.
Two hand Clubbell Arm cast
25 x 10

This is a great post, Sir! I have a question for you about an injury that I received on saturday.
While doing a charity scrap haul (collecting old metal for charity) I cut my right palm, in the crease of the palm, (yikes)undrneath the pinky. It's painful to attempt Tracystyle ballistic practices now.
I know that I need time to heal, but what can I be doing in the interim? What would you do?
Forgot to add, It does'nt hurt to ride my mountain bike, and I can press carefully. But pullups, TGU's and farmer walks are kinda out.

guy, depends on the severity( stitches?) I personally, if I couldn't use both arms would do a lot of one arm swing/snatch with the other arm til it healed. super glue and tape:))
heal fast
Only five stiches, (the least I have ever had). Thank you Sir, I bought liquid bandage today, should have got liquid nails and Gorilla Tape!
