This was a strange one. Felt VERY strong but 'flat'. I don't recall adrenalizing much last week but perhaps I did. Part of it was that this was an afterthought and I didn't really care that much if I made it. I just wanted to give it a try and that's all I got.
It never felt heavy but I couldn't get all the pieces right on any of my three attempts. I actually thought I was going to make each one! It just never felt heavy but I never got under the weight enough.
Looking at the video I can tell that I did make the corrections from last week:
1) I walked out with the chest up so i didn't lose connection to the bar
2) I layed back early
But I didn't initiate with a fast second layback and I think that's what cost me this lift. I think I was actually TOO confident in my strength and used too much arm and didn't lay back enough
attempt 1
the bar got way out in front and I decided not to chase it
the second attempt I got a little fire for. The pressure was off, so to speak as I had already missed. I got more but not enough second layback
Third attempt was closest
then a nice PR of ten reps with 135
It's all good, Again the weight never felt heavy at all which I think lulled me into a false confidence. I can't forget the exact tehcniques

"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."
