"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."

Snatches and two hand swings.
Feeling pretty beat up today. Right wrist/forearm continues to give grief and shoulders are just tired. A bit too much Primal Move yesterday and not enough roller and flex work. that has to come first or nothing else works well. I have to approach the PM VERY slowly or things will come apart fast for me. I just have so many asymmetries and ROM restrictions to deal with simultaneously it's hard to flow things together as I compensate naturally but don't feel the problems until later. and that's too late.
I just have to go slow, as usual.
As well as this morning. We started at 7 am,an hour early but I got my stretch in and that helped.Yesterday was also my 19th day in a row without a day off, no wonder I'm tired and beat up :))
This is also why I love my routine, it allows me to gather momentum and that is a prerequisite for progress, otherwise I am just fighting to go backwards more slowly:)) Keep breaking it and THAT becomes the habit, not the routine.
One arm swing warmup 16 kg x5/5/ x3
Snatch
16 kg x 5/5 x3
20 kg x 5/5
x 6/6
x7/7
x 8/8
24 kg x 5/5 x 5 sets
took me forever to warmup. I was only worried about the right elbow and forearm tweaking but everything else felt fine. Felt better each set. The strain from Thursday's double clean is almost gone but I had to be careful or I would irritate it again easily.
Wanted to do more but knew better so:
Two Hand swings
24 kg x 10
28 kg x 10
32 kg x 10 x 5 sets
SO nice to have this to fall back on, and to feel that 32 kg is LIGHT now. :)) this makes me very happy.My swing isn't pretty but it's strong.:))
Two hand CB arm casts
15 x 10/10
25 x 10/10 x 2 sets
datsit!
