162.5 Standing press 5x5 PR! 60 kg belt squat, floor pushups,laterals



this went great! Started out facing the opposite way and it worked, BUT I started to lose my balance backwards on a few reps which is weird because it was just what I was afraid of with Glenn's bar behind me. So I switched up and it worked fine. Much better actually. I also realized I have to walk my feet out in front of the bar even more.
It's different because the bar will roll unlike taking it off the pins. BUT the groove was solid and the reps strong except for the last rep of the 5th st which was the only one to get out in front.
Took another single right after to make up for it

Press
65 x 5
85 x 3
105 x 3
135 x 3 !
155 x 1
162.5 x 5x5 PR all time!

it was smart to take this and not 165 so I could get more work in on the mechanics and timing. Next week is 165 and I hope to get 3 x 5 and 2 x 4

Belt squat
60 kg x 10, 12, 13, 14
 this was good. Reps are right AT parallel but that's ok it will strengthen another part of the groove

Floor pushups
45
45
40

coming back!

Laterals
3 x 10/10 with 15s

also better

BW 169.4
