"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."

Active rest
Had a solid 1.5 hours off this am and put it to good use. I always love to do my training first in the morning, and except for Saturdays this rarely happens. Today was good.
Roller
Rifga
100 ups
High strides ( 4 laps of 30 feet)
Rocking with head nods ( toes dorsi)
Rocking with head nods ( toes plantar flex) : alternate between the two for 10 rep sets 100 total
Crawling 3 laps of 30 feet alternated with close stances dynamic squats bodyweight
Overhead hang work all grips
Reverse overhead stick stretches
Stair work
3 steps up 3 down
4 up 4 down
5 up 5 down
6 up 6 down
7 up 7 down 4 rounds
realized I have to lean forward more on descending to get the knee flexion I want
then 10 up 10 down 2 rounds
rowing machine 5 minutes ( not enough knee flexion help so abandoned)
this was solid stuff. I really liked the stair routine and I could feel a serious quad pump after ,especially the vmo. perfect.
heavy swings tomorrow, can't wait. finally back on non jet lag time. whew!
datsit.
