"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."

205 press x 4 singles, 210 2 misses,20 kg snatch 25/25,laterals, schedule change
Should have been a good day but it wasn't. Lots of prep time and body felt good til later Friday when my biceps tendon started yelling a bit and I had to work it. Felt fine after sleeping but it almost always happens on a Friday when the week catches up to me and out of the freakin' blue something demands attention.
So I wasn't quite confident about the shoulder this morning and it was freezing cold. I definitely have realized ( although not really accepted) that cold morning press days do not lend themselves to max attempts
I just may have to really lengthen the warmups or something because a good nights sleep, a stretchout and plenty of hot bath didn't make much different when i got to 210 so fast.
Now, all things considered my performance wasn't bad but I false started twice with both 205 and 210 and that wasted energy or sure. Just rushing the start and pushing the bar forward out of the gate. I don't even try to save it and just let it drop. But it's a waste and messes with my head
Thank goodness for the powerrack and this monolift setup. It's a game changer
Press
65,85, 105 x 3
135 x 2 eh
155 x 1 decent
175 x 1 same
195 x 1 strong, actually
205 x X then immediately again x 1 hard but ok after false start here for first attemt
210 x X out in front, immediately try again x X
210 x X AACK better attempt just mental mistake really rushing the setup. the weight has my number today. Also switched to 35 lbs plates instead of "change" and I can swear it makes a difference even though is shouldn't
205 x 1 x 3 hard but doable, calming down and not rushin
200 x 1 very strong rep! fuck
8 attempts at 93% of max to 96%
I guess it's not too bad.:) plus I was 173 this AM nice and plump!
Snatch
16 kg x 4/4
20 kg x 6/6
x 25/25
x 15/15
92 reps
Laterals
3 x 7/7 with 20's
not that bad effort wise but hell I hate high rep ballistics! even with anatomical breathing. Just aint my thing. I can do it, if I have to but I really don't. time to change this
25 and 25 was my official RKC snatch test back in 2005 and it's not a bad way to do it. For my age the test weight is 20 kg so I'm right there. This 5 min 100 rep shit is too glycolytic!
Going to change the schedule again, doing intense snatches on Sat won't be good for heavy swing mondays.
SO
Saturdays
Heavy Press
Pistols
Floor Push-ups
Monday
Heavy Swings
Wt pushups
Laterals
Wednesday
Medium Press
Light snatch ( to be determined sets/reps)
Laterals
BW 173
BF 12.7
W 58.1
