"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."

Snatch Practice
You never know when you are going to have a good workout and when you are just going to hang in and survive to train another day. And usually, I have found, that the days I do everything "right" are the hardest ones.
I got plenty of sleep yesterday, was hydrated, well fed, relaxed, got a full stretchout, etc. etc. etc. and was fine when I got up but sometime mid morning felt like I had been run over by a truck again! Like the barometric pressure dropped into the abyss. No such like. I was just run over by some severe ass DOMS from all the heavy bells I've been playing with.
I also have been trying to figure out where to put the health snatches and the presses as my shoulders can only take so much. So I decided to do just the health snatches today first. Not a good idea. TOO much of the press motion, even in the negative with little resistance doesn't seem to like my shoulders so I switched to ballistic snatches after five sets and these felt better, although rough. Haven't done many lately
Health Snatch
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
x 6/6
x 7/7
x 8/8
Ballistic Snatches
20 kg x 9/9
x 10/10 x 3
better but still achy and sore. and I haven't done anything. Oh well,just chalk this one up to practice.
KB Press
20 kg x 1/1
24 kg x 1/1 x 5
Felt guilty about doing so little so I tried some presses and they went great! Actually warmed up and they were more speed presses than anything. Excellent!
But I didn't want to tempt fate anymore than I had so I called it
Belt squats
40 kg x 20 x 4 sets

I love that end piece quote. Glad your listening skills are as sharp as ever. I would say wise decision ;) and solid day.
love the end piece too. the body is always telling me what to do, what direction to go in; it's just sometimes I don't hear it exactly as stated and the body smacks me a little harder so my english comprehension gets better:)
and, to top it off, for no damn good reason, I woke up feeling the best I have in MONTHS this morning.
Least shoulder pain/ache in eons!
I think it's because I decided to change some things my body has been trying to tell me to change and I finally listened so it stopped "tapping" me,:)
