"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."

32kg Press redux
After reading a comment on James Thomas SFG 2's Beast press on my FB time line I had a pressing epiphany.Takei Masushita made note that it was nice to see that James had his elbow facing forward as he pressed and a light bulb went off off for me regarding my left arm press, of late.
I was keeping my upper arm too angled across my body and my arm was spinning out way to fat to get the all important vertical forearm necessary for a strong press. So now, as I cleaned the weight I made sure to keep the vertical forearm and the elbow facing forward before I pressed.
It worked like a charm! Last week I missed the 32 kg press 5 times in a row on my left side and today made it three times in a row despite being wicked tired!
The lockout was weak but the press was solid and it's a great beginning for my left arm. After all, the 32 kg is just 3 or so pounds light of a half bodyweight press for me right now. I'll take it.
