"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."

44 kg One Arm swings, 24 kg snatch practice, bar hacks, weighted pushups, rear laterals
Finally a very strong day! Warmups felt light and powerful and when I got to the first set with the 44 kg it felt very light in my grip. Always a good sign!
Fives are so just the perfect rep count for me; I can be strong and powerful and not have to hold back at all. And the multiple sets give me a "background" of endurance. this is what built the foundation for all those five minute tests and I'm glad to be back to it. It's the base.
One Arm Swing
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
28 kg x 5/5
32 kg x 5/5
36 kg x 5/5
40 kg x 5/5
44 kg x 5/5 x 10 sets
100 reps
9700 lbs tonnage
KB snatch
The last time I was heavily into snatching I never swung anything heavier than the 32 kg and so the 24 always felt like a big weight to me. Now, after doing 200 rep workouts with the 48 on a regular basis the 24 feels like a toy.
That's nice for a change
16 kg x 5/5
20kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5 x 7 sets
easy. over head position has already gotten better than last week
barbell hacks
65 x 10
85 x 8
115 x 6
135 x 5
145 x 5
strong too!
Sandbag pushups
bw x 12
32 x 12 x 3 sets
strong too!!
rear delts
20 lbs x 3 sets of 12
BW 168.8 WTF!!!
BF 9.5 ( after bath)
W 59.1 ( highest in forever)
I have no idea what's going on, Ate 2500 cals at the most yesterday. 99% clean ( 2 cookies and 1 piece of toffee) and gained 1.3 lbs overnight? Also haven't had creatine for 4 days.
This is officially weird now
long ruck tomorrow. The plan is to just keep doing what I've been doing and see where this plane lands
