Experimental Press day, up to 220 miss, then down and up and down, pistols , floor pushup

Well it wasn't a waste of time but pretty frustrating. Decided to use a full thumb grip today on the idea that it would help my lockout. Not only did it not help my lockout it pretty much showed me it's NOT the way to go for the press at all

The three missed attempts at 220 barely made it halfway up and while I felt strong and the weight did not feel heavy on my back or arms it just keep PUSHING OUT IN FRONT!!!

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT THE WRAPPED THUMB WOULD FIX!

Arghh!

 So  I went down then up and finally switched back to the Reebok Legacy with a 1" heel and that felt the best
But, of course, I was toast at that point.
Always at the end

That I missed 195 out in front on the ramp up told me something was up. Then made it. Then missed 205 the same way. Then made it by pushing back much harder( still with full grip) but it wasn't as fast

After missing the 220 2x I tried it with a false grip but no go.
I went down to 185 for a few reps and it felt good
then up to 195 for a miss . Ack
But on the Legacy shoe at 185 - MAKE.
195 with Legacy and false grip MAKE
205 with Legacy and false grip Almost  make but the miss this time was just fatigue

The combo seems to be the higher heel and false grip

The problem is that I 'give" at the sticking point THROUGH THE HIPS- THE CANOE MOVES WHEN I FIRE THE CANNON

When that happens and I shift back under I usually can muscle it up but it's not right
The heel I think will let me lay back with support and the false grip has proven itself so I don't have to play with that anymore. Lets hope this is it
