"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 lb Military Press 5x2 PR!!, 44 kg belt squats, Floor pushups 3 x 50 PR!, crawls, rear delts
This went pefectly. As good as I could have hoped. Nothing on my body hurt, warmups were fast and easy and gave me confidence instead of filling me with doubt.
It didn't hurt that it was a balmy 82 degrees in the cave, I mean my garage. So hard for me to lift heavy when I'm cold; it always takes me forever to warmup then I cool off way too easy in winter but this was perfect.
Made a small technique change too which worked great- I put the bar even higher on my clavicles than before and it was the just right place.The bar seemed to launch back over my head, right where I wanted it.

didn't have a bad rep. One rep got slightly out in front but barely and I brought it right back in ( 3rd set 2nd rep I believe) but it was the best compilation of technique I have done in this lift

great view of my elbows and what they're doing ( right) at the start of the press. All I did when Glenn said press was to squeeze the bar and look how it jumped! Still. I see I need to get my elbows up even more!
