I little sloppy but not bad. Just ran out of tightness and triceps for the last two sets
"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."

Slept well last night so this wasn't too bad
Really focused on legs, locking out and trying to say flexed at the top. also some toe gripping

Chin press 175 x 1 x 10, 20 kg swings 5 x 5/5, leaning band tri ext
My hip was acting up from the layback press arching. Right Rec Fem overstretched. Ive had this before but it was distracting and keeping me from getting under the bar as well but no worries
Surprised I lost the groove so fast, only a week off BUT I did re introduce a similar but very different motor pattern to screw things up
165 x 1 x 2
175 x 1 x 10
thought about going to 180 for the last five sets but then thought better

Monday, June 09, 2025
Layback press 200 x 1 x 4 attempts, band pushdowns band reverse curls, laterals rear delt
All over the place, as it the way it seems. switch to something new/ old, it works great for a few workouts then the searching begins
Slept well, mentally ready just not all there

48 kg swings 20 x 5 22 min (pr), 48 kg belt squats 3 x 8, pistol practice 3 x 4/4, pullaparts
This kicked my ass and I think mainly it's because we were going so fast. Just Nick and me and it was I go you go. man that was hard to try to maintain height ( which I did pretty well)
Next week starting the cycle with the new, lower heel Do Wins and see how that works. It's been fine ( no neg feedback) on wednesdays and it's definitely a more stable shoe
then back to pistol practice and MAN am I OFF! Looking at the video my knee barely moves over the toe compared to when I was decent at these a few years agoThursday, June 05, 2025

Layback press felt much more normal today. No shouler bicep tendon or elbow stress at all
Cues are :
1) get hip in front of bar
2) Elbow under the bar
3) Unrack with legs
4) Layback until I see the X
5) Press To the X
Do Win shoes seemed fine

Layback Press pyramid 155-190-180, kb press 24 kg 2 x 3/3,
Well this was a very weird day. All kinds of shit this am and glenn and nick out so I decided to play around a bit
Which I haven't in forever
Tried kb clean and press and man, once again, it's so awkward anymore
16 kg x 3/3
20 kg x 3/3 x 2
24 kg x 3/3 x 2
Decided it isn't going to be a main course
Then went back to my old press from the chest. Was pretty upright til 165 when I realized shit was just going to push forward again so layed back a bit and it wasn't too bad
