Standing press 185 x 3 x 2, 2 x 3, 24 kg speed swings 15 min, laterals

Just a flat day. Everything was good, solid nights sleep, food, bodyparts, mental focus but I was just 'meh'. Gave 215 a halfhearted push but no go. Plus it was going forward again and although I've seemed to figure out how to do heavy multiple reps, the maximal first one is still hit and miss

More miss than hit.
But I think I at least figure out why

Set's up good. Bar high on clavical is good. Pushing back is good from start and I THOUGHT  my lay back was enough to just 'push' straight up and back from the arch but at max weights is ALWAYS goes forward!!
Ack

At the end of the workout ( last three singles) I realized  that I have to layback to INITIATE  the press. NOT press first!

I used to do this last year(s) but thought there was something better. We'll see


Press
65, 85, 105 x 3
135 x 3
155 x 1 sluggish
175 x 1 same
195 x 1 ok but not crisp
215 x X not near as high as last week
185 x 2
       x 1 ( shoulder biceps tendon tweak)
       x 3 ( video)
       x 3
       x 2
       x 2
       x 1 x 3 ( working on the layback start)
 24 kg speed swings
30 sets of 5
On the 30 seconds
150 reps
7950 lbs

24 kg is perfect for this rep count and work/rest bout

laterals
3 x 8/8 with 20's

finally these are getting stronger

BW 172.8
BF 13.1

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
