"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."

175 x 3 dead stops x 4 sets, 185 x 2 deadstops x 4 sets, 24 kg swings 5 x 8/8, band pushdowns
This went strongly despite being pretty sore and pretty CNS fried. The techniques held, the cues worked and the bar moved correctly. Even in this fatigued state
The Cues
1) elbows up high
2) push up/ push down
3) push to X
The only set I lost balance on was one I thought " lock knees" instead of push down and ended up back on my heels.
175 x 3 x 4
then 185 x 2 x 4

Pretty surprise to see, from these angles, just how far off the pins the bar is starting from now. SO much better than before. The "push up" cue is crucial. It really coils the shoulder arm spring.
24 kg swings 5 x 5/5,6/6,7/7, 8/8 Man I always hate swinging as a second exercise. it's just such a rude change of direction from presses
band pushdowns purple medium, black mini 3 x 10 stepped up the resistance
