"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."

85 lb Military Press, Arm casts. barbell hacks, floor pushups. hip sled
This went VERY well. A strong day. Gravity was in a bad mood for a change. Especially after Saturday's big swing Pr and a really rainy ruck yesterday. Woke up feeling like my legs and back had done nothing special at all.
And, isn't that the goal : "a back of iron and legs that never quit" ? Yes indeed it is.
Bodyweight was low this AM too 161.4 and my hydration was solid 57.5 %. Had a full hour stretchout this am and got upper and lower body done. What a gift.
Military press
stick press x 3 sets
bar x 5 x 2
65 x 5, 3
75 x 3
85 x 5 x 5
these felt the best ever very solid and as symmetrical as they've been. As hard as last weeks were these were that easy.
One arm clubbell arm cast
10 lb x 10 x 2
15 lb x 8 , 10
these are coming along glad to have them back in the mix right shoulder wasn't perfect but not that bad either. left was perfect :)
Barbell Hacks
stepped down off the block today and did these with just my Oly shoes on and it was better! Much more top and low quad activation and less balance issues. Me likee !
55 x 15, 17, 20
75 x 10 ( video above)
legs were very toasty :)
Floor pushups
15, 15, 12, 8
strong effort. last set done very slowly with constant tension. These are helping the press and vice versa
Hip sled
102 lbs x 250 ft as 4 laps
dropped down in weight , it was getting too sloggy and I want a faster more upright walk this was perfect
ok a day off then 50 sets of snatch vo2 by myself on wednesday Glenn is out of town so it will definitely be time to cowboy up.
