"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."

28 kg double front squat, 24 kg single front squats, belt squat and hip sled
heavy day today and I don't mean just the weight size. It felt heavy,lol. Getting back on track has caught up to me a bit today and the double 28's were a real test. No tweaks though after the heavy swings and long ruck but I was tired and tight.
Especially my calves which ended up hurting me in my depth. But no excuses, just another day at the office and while the reps weren't my best, they were a pr and the job got done.
Double front squats
2 16's x 5 x 2
2 20's x 4
2 24's x 3
2 28's x 3 x 6 sets
Single bell front squats
these were interesting. I was definitely done with double so I thought I'd try this. They worked pretty well and when I was doing them I felt like I was much deeper than I was via the video above :)
Hard to watch depth in the mirror when I have to keep my head up to hold my arch.lol. But it'll get there. Looser calves will help
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
definitely different too being able to do higher reps on each side. Plus the side carrying the load obviously does more work. Interesting movement I likey.
Belt squats
36 kg x 12,14,16. 20
yeow! blow torch on the quads/ Decided not to stand on plates because I always feel a bit off in the knees the next day after I do that. this was plenty of ROM
Hip sled
95 lbs x 250 ft x 5 laps
five is the new four. Not bad at all
Negative only pushups
3 sets of 5
trying these again. no repercussions from Saturday's pushps so maybe if I do these without the overhead work the shoulders will behave and let me build some more upper body mass :)
Ring extensions
1 sets of 12
tri's surprisingly cooked :)
datsit.
neverquit.
