"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, Split squats, floor pushups, bar hangs
definitely needed a bit of a back off day today. So we stayed with 12/12 on the rep count but back off the total number of sets/reps from our PR. But I couldn't resist banging out 20/20 on the last set just to see how it went ( as well as combine the last two sets together )
One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
28 kg x 3/3
32 kg x 12/12 x 8 sets
x 20/20
232 reps
16,240 lbs
everything's good just a bit CNS fatigued from the last two weeks ( not just training, work has been hectic too, it all adds up)
Bulgarian Split squats
3 sets of 10/10 ( rear foot up on bench)
Nice, The perfect single leg exercise now. Last time I tried these, months and months ago I wasn't ready for them. Like them for several reason. Both legs are working simultaneously and the rear leg is getting a hell of a stretch with the leg elevated . I can really tailor the amount of work between the legs ( left leg will be getting more work very soon), and I can load it
So this is technically a split squat whereas Wednesday's work are lunges. I need this single leg work bad
Still haven't forgotten about pistols either :)
Just did three sets as I want to see the after effect tomorrow. Should be fine. ready to take the left leg to another level
Pullup bar hangs
this is coming along well. 4 sets of between 15-20 second full hangs no problems, I'm going to try a different approach to chins this time. REALLY getting the hangs comfortable first and then adding in some basic swings on the bar to try to get the shoulders to release that way. we'll see
Parallel bar pushup
20
20
15
shoulders and tri's are still tired. makes sense, so we backed off
skipped upper back work. it was enough work for today
heavy ruck tomorrow too
