"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."

Standing press from chest 165x1x3,175x1x3, 185 x1x3, BW squats 10 x 12 seated laterals
Back to basics. The high rack position was getting too much for my elbows AND it wasn't producing consistent superior results so back to this

48 kg swings 20 x 5 in 23 mins( PR) BW squats 15 x 10 ( 15 min) pullaparts 3 x 30
Solo training today at the last minute. Had to do a major attitude adjustment but worked out fine
Actually everything felt good even cardio. almost no back involvement. Could have gone faster but would have sacrificed some bell height
decided to take a different approach to squats and keep reps lower ( 10s) and add sets. More concentration on technique. like it.Can always speed up restWednesday, July 02, 2025
165 x 1 x 5, 175 x 1 x 5, 180 x 1 x 3, BW squats 8 x 15(120)
Switched shoes to the lower heel Adidas
Fixed my left elbow twitch by NOT trying to keep the left elbow in but letting it stay out- this is HUGE as it took all the pressure I've been feeling on it off!
Had to take a generous one inch off the smooth grip
With the lower heel I can walk feet out in front just a little more and set up under bar

205 x 1 x 5 !!, Floor pushups 3 x 23,single arm band pushdowns band rev curls
This was decent! first time in forever to do this workout. and, while not perfect reps most were very solid and the last set was the best.
Trying to figure out exactly how far to place my feet in front of bar plus it seems I was tight in my hips as well which made the swing out go forward more than up. 185 was perfect
going to try my black adidas shoe on wednesday
44 kg swings 23 x 5, 30 min, BW squats 10 x 12, pullaparts
