200 lb press x 1 x 5 sets PR. 20 kg speed swings 30 sets,laterals



Another very very solid press day. And another important piece of the puzzled solved. The weight felt light, but I missed a few starts, first set went way out in front,  , did it right over with no rest, and this one above, the second set was also pushed forward at the sticking point because I thought that the arch was enough and then I just had to push UP.
NO
I have to push BACK right from the start.
The fourth and fifth sets were perfect
Smooth and fast from start to lockout. Without a doubt the best reps I have ever done with a heavy weight. But it was after I realized I had to push it back right from the start to have that nice straight line; that made all the difference

Press
65,85, 105 x 3
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1 fast!
190 x 1 FAST another perfect rep
200 x miss, then immediate x 1 got right out in front
       x 1 video above, just a slight push forward at exactly the wrong time
       x 1 long grind! pushed forward !
       x 1 x 2 PERFECT this is the setup and start!
Big pr

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
