"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."

44 kg One arm swings, 28 kg double bell swings
More strong. Slept good, woke good and stretched out easy. The warmups felt light and strong and I took big jumps. When I got to the 44 it felt strong in my hand. Not light but strong. Grip felt solid as a rock and I remember so well when the 36 for triples tested my left hand grip big time.
All this heavy swing work is paying off; my grip feels like it did when I deadlifted and rowed heavy.
'Bout time.
One arm swings

Double bell swing
2 20's x 10
2 24s x 8
2 28's x 7 x 3 sets
10 x 1 set
these felt light til I got to the 10 rep set. that got me :) but overall very happy with this load.
db shoulder complex
bent laterals
thumb down side raises
4 x 15/15 x 4 sets
left out the front raises as I didn't feel they were helping my overhead position or scap strength. the rear and side delt work is good though.
big ruck tomorrow and feeling good! Had a very very solid full one hour stretch out yesterday getting both lower and upper body as well as ten solid minutes of recumbent bike work up to level 7, running in place! ( getting ready to jump rope) and some 10-15 full trotting throughout as well. this is very encouraging!
Plus the usual rolling, squat stance holds, couch series and ring/ stick overhead work as well.
Shoulders are feeling the best in many many moons.Freaking AWESOME! the myo release work on the forearms( flexor pollicus longus especially, as well as flexor digitalis) is keeping things square. That and the straight arm ring work is making a huge difference
It's always about finding that ONE key that unlocks all the doors.
It's tough but once I do it really pays dividends and makes repair and maintenance that much more efficient
