"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."
This went ok. Right side was not locking out as well as I wanted but overall good.
Got to back off though and work on HOLDING at the start instead of going for ballistic effect. This style needs a serious total body tight start. My 175s are better because I pause
This went great. The technique was solid as was the groove. the 32 actually felt like a 24 for the first time in forever. Bell speed, power, height and between set recovery outstanding
Same footprint set up worked again in belt squat.Not as much depth but was more balance and leg work with this. non lockouts also really increase muscle tension
This went great didnt sleep all that well last night it didnt seem to mess me up. that crack in my skinby my right big toe nail though is. Got to get that handled been too long
This went great. New fastlift 360s in khaki and all new 2POOD velcro belt. Both worked great. I knew the shoes would be the same but I've never used a soft belt like this but its perfect. Can really micro adjust to the tightness I want that day- in millimeters and not fight the thick leather and prongs with limited settings
Very pleased Elbow was fine but it was swinging under the bar to unrack a bit weirdly. I took a index on the edge of smooth grip perhaps a bit wider.All good though
Almost didnt get here to even start. Yesterday afternoon my left elbow started lighting up at any motion at all and I remember this from the last time it went "out" and it was a WRIST alignment that re aliged everything
It didnt seem to help as much as last time but I put a lot of SMR into it
Sleep was rough.Got 6 hours but it took a lot to find ANY elbow position that didnt irritate it, But I did and it was much better once I got up and moved around
Still had no idea how it would feel for the press
But it was fine! A LITTLE tender but no real load and it got better as I warmed up
A bit distracting as I added weight as I expected it to hurt too but still 195 was strong!
