"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 5x5 ( tie pr),36 kg belt squat,floor pushups, crawls, side delt
This went really really really well. I felt strong and confident the entire time, even after yesterday's slow. Got a lot of sleep last night and felt solid all day. Took my supplements yesterday too, which I normally do not do.
I decided that if I need any help from the adaptogens every week it's on Saturday and Monday so why am I skipping Sunday. No more. I'll take another day off to get a break, probably thursday and keep saturday off as well
Warmups went well and I ended up taking some big jumps. The key thing for me now is having that trigger to pull, that simultaneous lat/glute flex to launch the bar. Game changer for me for sure. That also gave me a lot of confidence, especially as I fatigued.
Military press
45 x 5
65 x 5
85 x 5
115 x 3 ( new jump)
135 x 3 ( new jump
155 x 5x5 ( BIG jump!)
First set was a bit of a shock only because I didn't quite take it seriously enough and get UBER tight on the walkout. Fixed that fast. Also have to work on staying back on the descents after the first rep so as not to have to make an extra re set move. see if it works.
also timing on lockout and NOT to push my chest out too early, that really pushes the bar forward right when I need it to go back
Belt squat
36 kg x 16, 18, 20 ,20
tweaked my right QL today( thank goodness not my sacrum again in a weird way! ) wore my regular shoes too. Just rounded a bit ( that never used to matter at all) and felt the ql spas a but then ok. Might have to switch leg exercises here now. got to think about it
it's a message I think
Floor pushups
45
45
40
this was hard but doable. Again creatine on the day before this day makes sense
crawls
3 sets of 70 ft
the easiest and fastest these have been
a good day
side laterals
1 x 15 with 15
2 x 10 with 20
strong here too
BW 168.4
