"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."

"...nothing works forever" Military press, back squats,floor pushups, rear delts
Felt really good today; rhomboid issue all cleared up, GREAT night's sleep and a solid mindset. Yet my press went nowhere.
Well, it did go somewhere; out in front. I used the same technique as late, high chest on the setup, step out, plant, layback and lockin then lay back again and press.
everything was out in front! 170 wasn't heavy at all but moved totally into the wrong groove!
Dropped back to 135 and just did a very basic setup with NO secondary layback and bar path was perfect!
I think my increased shoulder mobility and ROM now requires a different groove. This is so much more simple. We'll see when it gets heavier
Military press
stick x 5
bar x 5
65 x 3
85 x 3
105 x 3
120 x 2
135 x 1
150 x 1 ( better)
160 x miss ( way out in front )
170 x miss ( the same!)
135 x 5 x 5 pretty much all the same as above video
If this holds it will greatly simplify my press. Time will tell
Back squat
bar x 5
95 x 5
115 x 5
135 x 5
145 x 5
that strange pop at the end was my tailbone moving :) freaked me out a bit but the aftermath was fine. If it had been a bad pop I'd probably be in the hospital now. Things have been out of balance a bit lately and I'm pretty sure it's the deadlift addition.
My body just doesn't like this movement. It never has. Squats feel great but there is some shifting, some asymmetrical something that happens even when I pull "symmetrically". I can't feel it happening but my hips and back just never like them
Same with pistols
Perhaps have really messed up hips and gait from 44 years of a weird knee affected things strangely,perhaps? :)
I will just plan on DLing a month out from the cert. Double bodyweight will be no problem with just a few actual dl form sessions. My swings will keep me strong enough for that. And won't mess with my back
No more pushing things I know I shouldn't do for anything or anyone
Barbell hack squats worked great for a long time. Proven to be trustworthy for this body . Even the double kb front squats were fine.
Floor pushups
35
30
25
felt ok but endurance was off a bit from lack of total volume the last two weeks. No problem, it'll be back soon
rear delts
3 sets of 15 with 15 lbs
these are crucial and I probably need to do more sets
BW 167.4
BF 13.4
W 55.9 ! weird
ruck up tomorrow
