"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."

150 lb Military Press 5 x 4 ( almost) PR , 32 kg belt squats, floor pushups,crawls, side delts
This was a tough one mentally. Didn't sleep well last night and had a hard start getting focused. I wasnt feeling "in" my body but more my head. Never a good place to be :)
But I took it out of my ass and got to work. As usual, by the time I got really warmed up and feeling good the workout was almost over.
Military press
bar x 5
65 x 5
85 x 3
105 x 3
120 x 2
135 x 1
150 x 4,4,3,3/4,4,4 all fours are PR's
the setup didn't feel right til the last two sets. Not enough arch ,nor glute tightness nor grip! It's a miracle I made them.
My right QL was tight all morning and as I arched and pressed overhead it resisted. It felt better each set but it still took almost the whole time to release.
Pressing re balances my flexion dominant posture and I always feel better, structurally, afterwards. It's just getting the front panel opened up that takes so long
And I KNEW this going in and prepared to focus on it. Just took awhile to get in and you only get so many sets :)
this was the second set
can't quite count the lockout of the fourth rep but I'm counting it anyway :)
32 kg belt squats
4 sets of 20
legs feel strong
Floor pushups
