"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 press x 1 x 2 , 22 kg snatches
Meh. This experiment was a success. My hypothesis failed. I thought going light on Monday would prime the pump, grease the groove, refine the timing.
It did, but it also tired me out much more than I thought it would
So now I know, Monday is not perfect but it's the best of all possible worlds for training both heavy swings and heavy press in the same week.
The good news also is that the groove held! and the technique seemed fine, until I fatigued then I started pushing the bar forward.
Press
65 85 105 x 2
135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1 decent( above) but not fast. groove was right tho
215 x 1 above
215 x X x 2
215 x 7/8
215 x X
205 x 1
205 x X
205 x 7/8
205 x X
wow so out of it. But I was laying back well and bar path was good. I might have had elbows too high up and elbows flared a bit too. Mainly that's from muscle fatigue
22 kg snatch
5 x 5/5
going to go back to 24 kg speed swings
I just like them better and don't feel like I'm fighting my overhead position at all
