"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."

48 kg One Arm Swing 10 x 10/10 ,hack squats, weighted pushups,rear delts
A day shy of my three year TKR Anniversary. Perfect workout to assess my recovery and strength/endurance of my new knee; especially since the last time I did this workout two weeks ago it was my leg strength that let me down
Not today. While it was anything but a walk in the park it was significantly stronger than that last debacle. The video above was for set 7, which last time was a disaster. The tenth set today on the last three reps were very hard to lockout fully, but that's way better than the 5 sets it was last time. This was the fifth time going through this protocol.
Perhaps the new schedule will work. Both Glenn and Joe had very strong sessions as well. MY grip and lungs were definitely better than two weeks ago, although the last few sets sent me searching for a 'fresh groove' to use that wasn't super tired.
I ended up pushing the bell back faster which really helped the upswing quite a bit. More load on everything but the ascent was more powerful when I needed it to be. Have to remember that.
Pretty freakin' nervous for this too but it worked out well
We went very fast too. Only three of us but Joe was pushing the pace and we went through the first five sets in 15 minutes! that's blazing fast.MY top end HR was around 180 in mid workout. Took awhile to come down. too.
