"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."

24kg Long Cycle Clean and Press : fives.
I almost don't want to write this down in fear of jinxing it but I think my left side press is back AND my right side hasn't disappeared either! It could be a first.The left shoulder has been staying in place,mostly, through the night and the day even after yesterday's snatching it was ready to go for presses today.
Although I was seriously beat
Seven clients back to back and the fatigue from yesterday starting to creep in I was just not that strong today but I got through the whole workout with NO CLUNKS AND I got fives on the left side press for the first time in months. Nice.
I thought that long cycle might make it better and it seemed to. I didn't pause between the clean and the press as I wanted to see how it would work at all first and then make it more strict.

Nice work, Mark!
thanks Roland I wasn't sure this was going to come back this time but I got it!
Looks great Mark! Love the use of the "radiating" strength from the clinched fist on opposite arm!
Is that some new "ink" on the left arm?
