"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."

157.5 Military Press 5x5. Barbell squats 155x5 , floor pushups. crawls, side delts
And the beat goes on. Considering this was just 2.5 lbs ( which, in the pressing world can be monstrous!) under my all time best for 5x5 it was very strong. A few instance of balance issues ( lost glute tightness I think) but otherwise just solid
Also considering it was DST and I was up seriously early had an effect although it could have been a good one - I got to do the workout even earlier than usual.
Body felt good from this weekend and nothing special achey report. Energy felt decent all day, too
Mind was solid on the sets- almost no extra 'thinking' prior to the sets and I wasn't stalling at all. I was ready to go and get it done. Lots of confidence too, after that first set of five went well
Also took bigger jumps in the warmups. A bit tired of futzing around getting to these big weights. The fact that it was 70 degrees outside helped too ( still 42 in the garage though)
Military Press
45 x 5
65 x 5
85 x 3
108 x 2
135 x 1
157.5 x 5 x 5
fourth set ( balance issue one)
I think my elbows are starting to flare. But, all in all. VERY happy with this session. Next week is 162.5 for my all time PR and then, hopefully the week after that 165 for the goal weight!
Barbell back squat
45 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 5
155 x 5 x 2
SO easy. Hardest thing is holding the bar on my back. It helps open up my shoulders but man it's still not comfortable
Floor pushups
3 sets of 42
surprisingly strong
Crawls
3 sets of 60 ft
Side delts
3 sets of 12 with 20
strongest this has felt at this weight
BW 170
