"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."

40 kg One Arm Swings 10 x 10/10, Pistols, laterals
I will admit this was a hard one. Harder than usual and this is always my hardest workout of the cycle. I brought last weeks volume up to 160 reps in hopes that it would make the transition to this weeks 200 reps easier and perhaps it did but it still kicked my ass. Or, I should say , my legs' ass. Couldn't figure out why they were so pumped and beat up by the end but then I remembered I've been doing terminal knee extensions every morning this week for a set of 50-60 reps and that's it.
Just pre fatigued and taught to pump
I will now bring that back to just three days a week and NOT the day before swing day. So, Monday, Wednesday and thursdays and I still need the VMO isolation work
