"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."

One arm swings 48 kg PR 174, hack squats,wt pushups, curls rear delts
Tough one but not as bad as I expected. It was seriously cold in the meatlocker, I mean gym this morning. Like 34 degrees cold. Started my pre workout hot bath passive warmup( drought be damned) and it worked like a charm
Only problem was is that the bell did not take a bath and the handle was a metal ice cube. It normally doesn't bother me but it just makes gripping that beast 'that' much harder and the first few sets were tough because of that.
Plus doing 9's is serious wind work and Nick and I were both huffing and puffing right away. It's good though, that the stress was on our cardio but not our strength.
We went fast too. not quite I go you go fast but probably 1:1.5 fast. Fast enough :)
But it was good that we could, too.
Definitely in the strongest strength cardio shape I've been in in 20 years. And that's really nice.

Seriously happy with this workload AND the bell height is the closest it's ever been to being a legal swing (i.e bottom of the bell above belt level).
No complaints whatsoever
