"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."

24 kg speed swings 14 min, walking bw lunges,parallel pushups, handstands, side delts
Steady one today. Back to only 14 minutes ( I write that with my tongue fully in cheek) and it was strong all the way through.
Slept poorly last night and was beat but it was no problem mentally to get through it and still put max power into each rep.
Lungs and wind were fine
Looked at clock at 11:30 in, about 4 songs, that's how I count now. Just go by the song but I could look each set too and it would be no problem. Big mental gain there.
MUCH stronger

Mark,
On your speed swing days - are you going from arm to arm for the full period or do you add breaks into the mix? are the breaks at time points, rep count points or points where fatigue has set in?
Great job on the military press progression.

I do 8 reps per arm in 15 sec then rest 15 sec and repeat for alternately 14 min then 16 then 18 then 20 min. I do this once per week
and thanks about the press, very happy with theprogress

No problem. This blog gets very few readers and even fewer comments so I am more than happy to answer those who follow and comment!
