"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."

195 lb press x 12 singles, 24 kg one arm swings 10x10, laterals
The triceps extensions I did on Monday took more out of my triceps than I expected them too, but as I feared as well. isolation exercises, with the exceptions of the laterals and the pullaparts don't help my lifts as they tire out the most important "connector" muscles too quickly.
Well my hypothesis failed but the experiment was a success! They're out!
Could really feel them today during the press, especially during the setup, even though they weren't sore at all. Just too tired.
Everything was tired today and didn't sleep well last night for no good reason. Just a get it done workout.
But still, 12 singles with 195 on a tired day ain't bad at all
Still pushing the bar forward and I hate to say it but I might just have to go back to the full thumb grip again. When I get to the lockout I need to keep the bar back but locking out with the triceps involves extension which, try as I might to fight it, seems to push the bar forward. Got two weeks to play with it and then back to triple progression on heavy saturdays and speed singles on wednesday. Time to re inforce that lay back arch I think. we'll see but I'm thinking that will be the plan.
Still have time to make 100 kg before my birthday
