"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."

THE BEST PRESS DAY IN FOREVER!
Despite a ton of misses I just felt great under the bar! Confident, aggressive, wanting to push instead of scared to push
Have NO idea why but it felt great!
135 x 1
145 x 1
155 x 1
165 x 1
175 x 1
185 x 1 ( all these felt perfect)
195 x 1 a bit rushed, out in front took it over
205 x 1 BEST IN FOREVER
210 x miss just not enough bar speed but groove was solid
210 x miss dropped head , lost X BUT I wanted another attempt and was close
210 x miss just tired now
197.5 x 1 wobbly though
197.5 x 1 strong but not locked out
180 x 1
Took off the wrist wraps for the first time ever as it seems it was tweaking my left wrist. when they areer gone so was the tweak
This went well. First time doing 25 sets again in months. The new technique worked great and didn't seem to sacrifice too much bell height but it definitely is faster and easier on the shoulders
Legs however are getting worked harder which was the plan too
Slight balance adjustments needed but not a biggie
170.4
These went great. so much better than monday lol
Cues:

Got some weird news during the workout which completely destroyed my concentration
Lucky to get my one set with 205 in, missed it twice after than than missed 197.5 completely as well
Did pushdowns and rev curls and called it a day
Need to add either
1) pushups
2) floor press
3) kb press
SOMETHING that gives me some more chest work and eccentric loading. pecs getting too small
This started off slow and finished fast. legs a bit toasty from the new/old leg dominant swing technique

This went great.After re watching my techniques from my five min swing test days and speed swing workouts I decided to give it a try again. The focus being a leg drive vs a hip drive
Was worried I wouldnt get enough bell height but it was more than decent
Just tried to bend my knees then lock them on the way up: NOT lean back and try to hold the standing plank, just hit the lock then re bend
End result is a much faster tempo which is how I could fit ten reps into 15 sec with the 48 kg! I also don't get as much front delt tension at the top trying to max out bell either
All good, I like it
