"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."

40 kg One arm swings ( pr), Goblet squat ( pr) close pushups, crawls
Worked hard to keep my head up during my one arm swing workout and it's starting to not only feel more natural but better. I can definitely see how it helps keep my back in extension better, leading to more hip drive /loading but I can see from the video that it is also keeping my arm straighter in the bottom, something I did not expect
You can teach an old dog new tricks it seems, even after 13 plus years of doing it one way :)
The record shows that I did 5 sets of 5/5 and 5 sets of 6/6 last October ( plus a set of 10/10) Doing all sets of 6/6 would be a pr so that was what I set out to do.
It was actually very strong, almost easy. The best I've ever swung this weight so I was very pleased. Felt like I could easily do 8's with it. Next time
One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
28 kg x 5/5
32 kg x 5/5
40 kg x 6/6 x 10 sets
120 reps
10,560 lbs
Goblet squats
20 kg x 3
24 kg x 3
28 kg x 3
32 kg x 3
36 kg x 3 (strong!)
40 kg x 3 All time pr!
this was very strong! didn't expect three reps- was hoping for one strong one- so this was very good. Last time I did 36 kg it owned me :) this is a good sign
Close hand pushups on horizontal bar
4 sets of 12 with feet on box
also super strong
Leopard Crawls
3 laps of 50 feet.
strong finish!
