Had a hard time choosing which of the ten videos to put up as they all look the same!
The real key is getting totally locked in at the start and FINDING the X as I press not just looking for it
"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."
Super super solid.

Perfect weather. Cool, overcast almost a drizzle and legs felt strong
Charlie Kirk got assassinated today as I started so all kinds of electronic distractions as the new came in
What a tragedy
What a waste
What a Man though
Rest in Peace Charlie Kirk
Slow slow start, for about an hour! then my legs opened up a bit those those ten reps swing sets did the trick

This went well. I could immediately feel the difference in how much my legs were working especially the
later sets. I originally thought I'd ramp the sets up but now I'm thinking increasing reps per set from 5/5 to 8/8 over four weeks
My best condition for sure was 10 sets of 10/10 but not ready to even contemplate that now
Eights are hard but not horrible
Need to go back to focusing on leg involvement rather than bell height

this went damn near perfect, Knees stayed locked and then was able to KEEP them locked during sticking point! Important also to hold the weight after unracking on the body NOT in the arms
This went great. The 10 lb jump warmups from 135 to 195 really force me to focus on form and spee and NOT changing anything once I cross over to 205 +
Lost sight of the X ( HAVE to set up more forward than I think ) but fixed it on second 210 attempt
Didn't lock it but the groove was great
Three down sets with 200 were strong
These were hard but went ok. Decent height, decent power, cardio was fine
But it's too close to maximum effort.At first I thought I needed to do these weekly in some fashion as they don't seem to be getting easier just hitting it once a month
Then, I realized I really need to go lighter and focus more on power and less on max strength with this move
So I decided to use the 40kg each week and ladder the volume instead of the weight each week
Something like this
week one 40 kg 10 x 5/5
week two 40 x 12 x 5/5
week three 40 x 14 x 5/5
week three 40 x 16 x 5/5
lets see how that goes
the 40 has always been my 'perfect' heavy bell
lets see if that's still true
