200 lb Strict Press x 0 x 2, 48 kg belt squats,floor pushups, laterals

Well that didn't quite go as expected. Both attempts were better than last week but no go. I think what's really happened is that I just ran into the strength limitations of my shoulder mobility. Right when I get to the sticking point my right shoulder runs out of room and the weight essentially gets heavier. No go.
I can't keep back and when I shift forward the bar goes forward and and then down a bit and of course I can't recover.

But it didn't ever feel heavy! Not in the unracking,nor the walkout nor the press! it just wasn't in the right position to push it fully back
Ack!!
Not having the mirror messed with me a bit and I'm not sure where I should be looking

Plus I'm just tired. Even though I'm not psyching, there is an emotional cost to these attempts and I just had very little emotional juice to give today for a lot of reason.

Also I was slow off the chest and I still don't have the right trigger. I WAS back far enough though and that helped





and yet this 185 FLEW!
