"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."

Relearning to snatch, 20 kg swings 20 x 5, band ext 4 x 15
Though that maybe snatches would open up the shoulder and not jack my back. Seems to have gone ok
Right shoulder overhead is tight but I rotate left to right not the opposite as I do trying to lock out the barbell press
Plus it activates the flexion muscles of the shoulder not the lats
We'll see

Not great sleep but 104 HRV! Felt ok strength wise but poor concentration and bad connection to my body
