215 x X Press, 20 kg speed swings 30 sets of 5, laterals



Decent day I just wasn't strong enough for 215. Can't blame it on anything else; technique was good, sleep was good, mind was good. Just not strong enough which was surprising but there it is.
Plenty of good work though

65,85, 105 x 3
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1  strong!
205 x 1 Decent but not fast, which did not give me confidence for 215 but went for it anyway. Also first attempt was my regular 'push it forward' which I HAVE to stop doing! it's a very bad habit. Second attempt was this

then
215 X Miss
190 x 2 PR

Not long ago 190 was my best so to double it on a down set is a good sign. Back to sets and reps next week

Interesting. Just looked back at my last attempt with 215 which was July 19. Missed it pretty much the exact same place ( one month ago or so). This time I went right to 215 from 195. Perhaps I wasted energy with the 205 attempt? hmmm

I think I'm going up to 24kg with this next week. Should be no problem for 5's without losing any power

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 ...
