"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 15 min, 180 lb Military press (!),walking lunges, floor pushup pr, side delts
Wow what a day. Was not feeling confident about my decision to do swings first before I attempted max presses, and, to be honest, I was thinking it would be nice if 190 went today. Slept well and all parts were on board except my mind.
Swings went well, with great power output, but I had to work hard to keep my mind from wandering into the press section to come
It was medium temp outside but inside the garage was 40 degrees, I took a very hot bath before and felt ready but after swings I was a sweaty mess and had to change shirts as I don't like to press heavy in the cold. Should have put on even warmer clothes, I realize now.
My mind was all over the place, so many new techniques to do well and I wasn't even sure the exactness of each . but I had a good feel and warmups went very very well.
I took an even close grip; index finger on the start of the knurling, thumb on smooth and really worked to force my elbows in at the take off. I forgot to realize I also have to focus madly on KEEPING them in as I drive the bar up, then back and more back. and more back
AND don't let the glutes release one iota! the flat shoe helps this. I'm thinking I need chuck taylors for this
