"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Closest yet! 220 lb press x X x 2, 205 x 1 x 5,pistols, floor pushups
SO CLOSE! At first I thought my technique was spot on and I just wasn't strong enough, but close examination of the start shows I dropped my elbows just a bit and let my T spine shift forward, again. just a bit, but enough to put the bar path too forward for me to overcome it
Goods news is that I am wicked strong and almost got it anyway!
This 205 on the way up was as fast as I've ever done it
AND I don't drop the elbows back at all and the groove was pretty much perfect for me
I think I confused "long pause" with "long pause after I get into the right position in the layback. I 'held" right after unracking it, THEN layed back and held again but I shifted that slight bit. Oh well at least I can see it
Also good news is that after I pressed it I did not shift forward but "stayed back" as I was focusing on as well
I'll get it and then, once I get this sussed, 225 in short order too.
