"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."

145 lb Military Press; 3 x 5,1 x 3, 1 x 4, 1 x 3, 48 kg belt squats,floor pushups, crawls, rear delt
I had to choose between taking 140 or 145 for my work weight today. 135 was semi tough last week so 140 would have been a smarter choice but I thought last week was tough for technical reasons and I thought I had them figured out.
So 145 would be better, it would tie my current pr for 5x5 ( which was NOT easy at all) and would get me to 150, my next goal weight for 5x5 faster.
I didn't expect it to be hard, to be honest
And, I felt really strong and solid coming in and warming up
But I made a small mistake which really cost me in the rep count BUT I figured out a very key piece of the standing military press puzzle.
Warmups felt good as I wrote and the work weight felt light. The walkout setup was solid ( I thought) and the initial drive was good but the middle was off
The first three sets of 5 werent bad at all but on the 4th rep of the 4th sets I just stalled. Nothing.Nada, No gas
WEIRD
And all in the triceps.
5th set layback more 4 reps!
6th set of 3 EASY when I did as Glenn suggested and put the bar higher on my chest. I was taking it off too low and really increasing the ROM AND the bar path
As soon as I racked the weight higher on the neck the last set was FAST!
It's fine to miss the work weight if I figure something out like this!
Mil Press
bar x 5
65 x 6
85 x 3
105 x 3
135 x 1
145 x 5 x 3, 3 x 1,4 x 1, 3 x 1
same rep count (25) as 5 x 5
have to decide to repeat this weight or just go up to 150 and start chipping away at it
48 kg Belt squat
4 sets of 12
a higher squat but I can really feel a difference in the different part of the leg
( more mid thigh and glutes!)

30 reps
triceps were cooked from all the mis grooving
