"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."

217.5 lb Press PR, Floor pushups, Laterals
Well this went great! The lockout could have been better on my right arm but man I will take this and count it! And, every set was solid on the way up. No missed reps and none out of the desired groove. Everything went according to plan including the timing
It came to my just yesterday that I should initiate the press the same way as I used to do so on my bench press: with my legs and hips! Wasn't sure that was going to work but it did and especially in conjunction with the press signal being called by Glenn.
This helped immensely on two fronts
1) not having to think when to go and rushing it by mistake
2) really having to build tension waiting for the call and "coiling the spring"
The shock wave starts in the hips and drives into the bar and off the chest. Under the bar the whole time. Now just got to get that right arm lockout cleaner
and of course "face up" the whole time
