"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."

60 kg One Arm Swings 10x5/5,wt pushups, waking lunges, laterals
I wouldn't have given two cents for todays workout given how I felt 24 hours before. My traps neck and upper back did not like those close floor pushups nor my left biceps tendon the 15 presses I did before figuring out what not to do to inflame it.
Not a great nights sleep and weird nervy pain throughout. Great.
But I think it was just my body seeking neutral and bouncing around trying to find it as I kept feeling better and more "square and plumb" as the day went by and by time I got to training I felt great with NO joints talking to me at all!
So freaking weird but I'll take it1
One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 4/4
28 kg x 4/4
32 kg x 4/4
36 kg x 4/4
40 kg x 4/4
48 kg x 4/4
60 kg x 5/5 x 10
100 reps
13,200 lbs
RPE 7.5
Left wrist and shoulder were FINE! Perhaps the best in forever and grip was no issue at all! Left TFL and right glute were 100% normal as well. So weird.
AND the Reebok Legacy shoes were perfect too
First time swinging the 60 kb in them and they made me feel like I was glued to the ground. Crazy stable and the heel height is literally ideal. Balance is great and quad activation and lumbar curve is just where I want it
Couldn't be happier
Plus it makes me an inch taller ,lol
Wt pushups
bw x 10
53 x 10 x 3
shoulder was fine,. going to use these on rep days as well as weight. no more floor for ahile
Walking lunges
3 laps
BEST my knees and hips and quads have felt doing these in months! so freaking weird
I did start 7-8 benzoflavone adaptogen two days ago and I wonder if that's making the difference?
I've used it and like it before but it's been months.
laterals
3 x 10/10 with 15s
BW 172.8
BF 13.9

A couple of questions: When did you decide that you needed to switch to an elevated heel? And what didn't you like about the Innov8s you used to wear? I've been a "barefoot is best" guy forever, but some news from the orthopedist yesterday got me thinking I should start elevating, just to open up the hip angle a little bit.
