"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."

140 lb Military press 4x5, 1x4 PR, 36kg Belt squats, floor pushups,crawls , side delts
SOOOOO CLose!!!! It was a great day. I fixed all the mistakes from last week and after the first set felt very confident I would get all five sets. Even after set 4 I thought I would and even after the first two reps of set five I thought I would but I got forward on number 3 and then had to grind way too hard on 4 to even think of five!Even got a full hour long stretch and roll!
DAMMIT!
It was FREEZING here today so I took a ten minute super hot bath and that made my warmup 100% better. Warm from the inside always works better for me.
Took way more time warming up and really worked the arch position well. Took 3 minute rest between sets; everything pointed to making it except the last reps :)
the last set
Glenn figured out that the reason I was losing my back position was that I was pushing the bar forward at the top and even though I felt like I was leaning back the same amount since I started more forward I was not back enough on the subsequent rep.
Great intel I just need more practice
Back off next week though probably to 120 and then go 130 and then a shot at 140 again
Military press
stick x 5 x 2
45 x 5 x 2
65 x 5
85 x 4
105 x 3
120 x 2
140 x 5 x 4 sets
x 4 x 1 set PR!!
24 total reps
SO much better than last week but then again, lats weren't cramping with DOMS and I wasn't frozen solid. Not the best setup for a pr
Position is everything for me now on this lift, if i want to keep progressing, It's not so much my strength, it's being able to get into position to express my strength.
36 kg belt squat
4 sets of 12
very slow and strict on eccentric. easy
Floor pushups
3 sets of 30
strong but didn't have a fourth set
Crawls
3 sets of 70 ft
stronger
Side delts
3 sets of 10 with 20 lbs
these were hard! haven't gone this heavy with these in awhile and I could feel it. Not enough height but it will make it stronger
BW 165.6
BF 11.2 ?!
W 57.8
this is just weird.
ok stretch and roll tomorrow

You ruck a lot. Whats your take on Nordic walking?
I think it's great stuff! having a solid walking base, in any form, is vital imo. we are the best walkers on the planet but we still need to practice!
Plus it involves a lot of upper body as well
