"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."

Double 36 kg swings. low swings :)
Well this was a serious PR. Of sorts. A definite personal best in the sense I have never held two 36 kg bells in my hands and tried to swing them but they are pretty LOW swings, lol. And that's quite ok. Better than ok; especially how shitty I felt on Monday.I didn't tweak anything, they actually felt pretty solid in my hands and I probably should have done a few more reps to gain more momentum and get a bit more swing height.
But it doesn't matter. I will next time and this time will make me stronger for the next. and the next,etc.Even if the form isn't perfect just handling the weight makes me stronger. It is, after all, MORE than my bodyweight. By just a few pounds but it is. That ain't nothing.
Two kb swings
2 16's x 5 x 3( slow warmup)
2 20's x 5
2 24's x 5
2 28's x 5
2 32's x 5
2 36's x 5 x 3sets Pr!
2 32's x 5
2 28's x 6
2 24's x 8
2 20's x 10
2 16's x 12
this was a GREAT practice!
Sled drag
60 lbs x 200 ft x 7 laps
1400 ft no problem
this felt better each set. Just a strong day.
Barbell curls
45 lbs x 10 x 3 sets
Back press
single strand x 15
double strand x 8 x 2
black strand x 10
single is too easy and double too hard, really. used the black monster mini band, knotted it and jerry rigged it. Just right.
seriously good day for a change
