"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."

32 kg One Arm swings,Goblet squat,24 kg front squats, pushups, 24 kg farmers walks
This went very well. It was tough, especially from set 7 on but strong as well. This is the fastest I've swung this bell, the most overall power for sure. Especially with this volume. This is what I've been training for. To do more work than ever, easier and not feel anything the next day. Adaptation to huge workloads.
Their is nothing like the swing for this. You can't do more work, more safely than swing, snatch and clean training.And the swing's the thing.
Shoulder has been feeling fantastic lately too since I started experimenting with elbow circles in various planes. It seems the wrist, elbow and shoulder connection responds well to these as well as the barbell overhead work. SO nice to not have that dull ache in my shoulder 24/7!
Plus when the shoulder is not sitting well, these circles re adjust it faster than anything else I've done yet. Which is exactly what I've been looking for. And, with no 'toys' to use to do it, either.

Farmers Walks 2 24kg x 100 ft x 3 laps

What is a good resource for the elbow circles Mark?
this is the basic idea: I do them in both directions with the arm in a variety of positions but mainly behind the body and while lying on the floor

I also focus greatly on making sure i include internal rotation of the shoulder AND wrist as I do them
for me getting all these joints to rotate in sequence in both directions seems to be key.
Thank you Mark. I appreciate you sharing these tips.
