225 lb press attempt, floor pushups, laterals



Not that great an attempt in reality for a lot of reasons but basically just not the day. Lot of social media distractions all weekend and wasted a lot of energy on stupid arguing. Not the best mental prep

Then put the bar on the wrong side of the tape and my foot setup wasn't right even up to 195 so I took that twice. Just a bit flat all day.
Still a bit anticlimactic since the 100 kg so I'm not beating myself up about it

I think the tapes might be too much a distraction causing me to lose my feel, my connection to the setup

Did NOT get my hips forward enough that's for sure looking back at the tape and I flexed through my knees instead an that's a non starter

But now I know

I also think I might need to  make smaller jumps 225 might not be the same as 220 even though it's just 5 pounds more. It IS the stinking press don't forget and plays by it's own rules.
And I have never been in this territory

Perhaps
195
205
215
225

I think I'll try that next week we wont know til I try

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 ...
