"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."

155 lb Military press 5x2 PR,32 kg belt squats,floor pushups PR,crawls, rear laterals
Man as sore and beat up as I was all day yesterday I woke up feeling pretty damn recovered. But as much as I wanted to go for 155 today I really didn't think I would feel strong at all and I would take that as a sign to back off.
But that didn't happen, My shoulder was in good shape all morning and I spent a lot of time stretching with a dowel stick in the rack position and really letting my delts stretch out. turns out that was a good idea as my bicep tendon was no problem all workout. haven't felt that in a long time.
Plus I didn't snatch on Saturday and it looks like that was a good idea as well. I'd rather press well than snatch anyway now a day. The swing's the thing for me for ballistics, that's for sure
Military press
stick x 5 x 2
bar x 5
65 x 5
85 x 3
115 x 3 ( new jump, was fine)
135 x 2 ( another new jump, also fine- this is a sign of really getting stronger, these new jumps)
155 x 2 x 5 sets PR!!
97% of my 160 current max.Nice
first two sets were hard as I wasn't laying back enough ( video above is second set). Once I fixed that the last three sets were the strongest. Nice! Really felt like I could push. A little overfocused on whether the biceps tendon would move or not, which was distracting, but other than that VERY confident on the whole thing,
Walk up, set up, un rack and walkout were all very confidently done; like I knew I would make it. Can't remember when I attacked this movement like that.
And after two very hard days, well, I'm surprised and happy
Clean and squat
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 4/4
Not loving this today. Hands are sore as are shoulders, Need to feel the legs. back to belt squats
Belt squats
32 kg x 20 x 2 sets
this is another staple. Just accept it. it works
Floor pushups
3 sets of 37 PR!!
had more in the tank on the last reps of the third set :)
Crawls
3 x 70 feet
fast and strong
rear laterals
3 sets of 12 with 20 lbs
I will be using 25's here very soon.
