"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."

Looks like it's going to be a leg day
Monday's session that is. Tried all kinds of variations on a theme instead of kb pressing and nothing worked.
Two clubbell swing overhead, one clubbell swing overhead, floor handstand, even barbell overhead press. nothing felt right.Not even snatch holds. I even tried some kb presses again with the 16 and it just isn't right anymore.
I settled on some close grip pushups to the horizontal parallel bar and that was easy BUT, it's really not progress able unless I want to build the reps and I don't. My shoulders won't like that that's for sure.
So I needed a center piece of today's routine, a theme and then I realized today just has to be a leg day. I will start with db kb front squats, which are certainly progress able but really work my arms and core more than my legs , then go to belt squats with the 32 kb for high reps which will definitely challenge my legs with lactic acid as well as my ROM.
I didn't want to focus on kb front squats before because I wanted something that will work legs more but this way I get it all. the skill and progress able strength of the front squat then the burn and pump of the belt squats then putting it together with the sled.
Will see how it goes next week but this is my best bet:
Saturday
One arm swing
two hand swing
Clubbell shoulder park squats
Monday
KB front squat
belt squat
Ring or Floor KB tricep extensions
sled
Wednesday
Snatch
Goblet squat
Reverse sled
Today
Belt squat
24 kg x 10
32 kg x 10
40 kg x 10 ( bell is hitting floor too soon!)
48 kg x 8 x 3
32 kg x 12
x 20
either I have to stand on plates or the 32 kg is largest bell I can use to maximize depth.
pistols( supported)
3 sets of 3
actually not bad at all :)
Sled drag
92 lbs x 250 ft x 4 sets
strong and easy
also, full leg and upper body stretchout this morning including 15 on bike, up to level ten and back. very strong legs are feeling very solid no problem recovering from yesterday's hike
