"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
15:15 9 PRA
14 min
252 reps
13, 356 lbs tonnage
RPE 8
lots of mental distractions prior and, actually during, but physically felt pretty good
Strict press
45 x 5
65 x 3
85 x 3
107 x 3
117 x 3 x 5 sets
127 x 3 x 3 sets
137 x 3 x 1
127 x 3 x 1
The layback seems to be the most reliable trigger. Before I did the layback and finished in that position, as I didn't have mobility to get under the weight. It's not perfect but now I have way more so I can actually get under. But, timing is everything
Also, used the belt today. It felt ok. I alternated some sets with and without it and couldn't tell a lot of difference but there's no reason to believe it wouldn't help me get 200. I could live with that :)
I will use it Monday and see
Walking lunges
3 laps of 40
slow and deliberate. completely concentrating on JUST the left leg on each step has made all the difference. Right TFL and psoas are no longer locking tight and the flow is better. Plus getting more left leg work thats' needed
Left VMO is too small to my right. Time to make time for banded TKE's for high reps
Compound laterals
3 sets of 7/7 with 20's
BW 172!!!
BF 12.2
ok either I'm fatter or more muscular. Either way, no carbs today a real fast morning as I have to be no more than 170
