Really strong consistent workout. Hit on all cylinders. actually brought my set up foot placement in a little and it seemed more stable throughout
see if it holds

"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."

170 x 1 x 12, 20 kg swings 20 x 5 in 15 min band rear delt 4 x 12
Monday, May 11, 2026
185 x 1, 195 x 1, 170 x 1 x 15, reverse band curls and pushdowns
This went great. Lifted my gaze spot up about a foot and focused on unracking with the chest up which helped keep my elbows up and angled back and everything went smoothly
Rushed the setup for the 195 so knees were too soft and I lost balance at the top but bar speed was excellent
Wanted to stress test the weight to see if I've just been weak the last two weeks or tired from Mondays workout and then wed volume and THEN taking the weight
It was the volume

32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 40 min, 16 and 20 kg goblet squats 2 x3 and 3 x 3, both leg split squats 3 x 6/6
This was good despite not great sleep. Dropped the silverback squat during bodymaintenace and subbed it with supported squat stretch and it opened up my hips much more and I got far. less lower back fatigue during the swings
Goblets were rough showing me how much I need the practice. Still getting a lot of ab involvement but I'll deal

170 x 1 x 10, 175 x 1, 185 x 1, 195 x miss, 195 x 3/4, 20 kg swings 20 x 5 8 min, rear band laterals 3 x 12
Not bad but not great emotionally going in, Fought it off but still distracting
Staying on my visual spot helped immensely but a few my head moved too early
First 195 was a rushed mess and I should. have been able to lockout 195

172.5 x 1 x 22, band pushdowns and reverse curls 3 x 12
This was fine. Bunch of minor distractions but all the presses were very solid, almost casually easy
Started looking up too early as I started to press which put the bar out in front ( like my old layback technique) around set 15 but quickly figured it out and fixed it
