Well just it goes to show you you can't pick the workouts that are going to shine. I thought today's presses would go easy. I slept great, got a solid shoulder stretchout, ate well was mentally ready and then; meh.
I got the reps alright but they weren't right. The bell felt heavy in the rack and there was no zip on the presses. I should have dropped to singles but I ground out six sets instead, dropping to the 24 kg for some triples that weren't that great either( that was a sign).
Saturday's workout took more out of me than I thought even though I wasn't sore or achy at all. Just tired it seems.
'Just another brick for the foundation
KB press
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 3/3
24 kg x 2/2
28 kg x 2/2 x 5 sets
1/1 x 1 ( first rep sucked so I stopped- spun out early)
24 kg x 3/3 x 2 sets
.....next.
Belt squat
32 kg x 10
x 12
x 14
x 20 !!! ALL reps the bell paused on the floor.solid flex at each lockout too. Nice!
on this set I also did a free squat ( no tug of war with glenn) and got it to pause as well. Definitely different groove but it's coming and I can see how the tug of war squats are helping to transfer to the free ones( as well as ALL the bodyweight squats I do all day. Counted 60 today at work :)
Db laterals
12 lbs x 15
15 lbs x 10 x 3 sets
best these have felt. groove was solid and arms stayed in correct alignment and shoulders didn't hurt at all. heaviest yet.
sled pull
92 lbs x 250 x 4
VERY strong and powerful. could be time for more weight.
while not my strongest it was a solid day

"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."
