"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."

225 attempts, 215 x 1, 210 x 1 x 3 down,floor pushups 60 rep PR, laterals
what a great workout. the best since a month ago when I hit the 100 kg press. My first day back at Cal Ave in four months so I was a bit worried about a new weird routine but it turned out great. I didn't make the 225 but I missed it well, in the groove ,even though I changed shoes
I had a gut feeling the 1/2" adidas shoe would be better for letting me lean back at the start more strongly and I was right
Always trust the gut, at least for the experiment
It worked well from the start and I also figured some other things out
Have to really lean back more at the start ( thanks Nick)
Have to fall back then push ( I thought I learned this but it's crucial) after the press call. Otherwise the bar goes forward. No bueno. the little heel gives me better balance now leaning. the mistake with the shoe before was letting my chin tuck in which shifted me forwards at the sticking point. If I keep looking face up it's not an issue
1) lay back
2) look up
3) fall back then push
Press
65 85 105 x 3
135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1
215 x 1 Strong~!
225 x X didn't lean back enough at start
225 x X video above a solid attempt
210 x 1 x 3 all three reps were excellent, my best ever and a PR for reps with this weight
Floor pushups
3 x 60 PR!! not sure if this a pure pr or ties it but I haven't been close in ages!
not having to grind for 4-5 reps with 225 makes a difference!
one arm laterals
3 x 10 with 20
bent laterals
3 x 10 with w 25s
