"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."

215 lb Press attempt,205 x 1 x 5, floor pushups laterals
This could have gone really really bad. My right thumb this time, decided to wake me up at 12:30 again aching like a son of a bitch. Big time joint compression and I couldn't believe it was from the paltry 160 swings with the 32. Then I realized I had done bodywork on Nick with my thumbs on Saturday and this was body's way of telling me to cut that shit out.
I barely did just a few minutes of work and I was mindul of the pressure but it didn't matter; locked my wrist and thumb and hand up big time
So not only did I barely get any sleep I also was in pain all night. This, on top of working on the arm for most of the evening
Still there although better in the arm but I still couldn't assume a mock press position with a false grip!
I was resigned to however the workout went but usually these thing resolve, just as the toe did. in time for training and today was no exception
But mentally I was a zombie and after 5 facetime clients I had no idea where I was
But it was good plus I really got the cue AND the timing down on the last five sets at 205 and that was huge! I have to be patient after the layback and get tight, the once I start the press drive I have to immediately initiate hip drive as well
what catches me when I get loose is a great bar drive that creates a float but I'm late getting my hips forward, catch it loose then have to fight
On that last five singles I timed it perfectly and got the bar drive followed immediately by my hips and I was under the bar the whole time,
Last rep was easily the best and fastest
