175 and 185 lb speed press, 24 kg speed swings,wt pushups



 Really good one. For the last two days I've felt like myself again. Haven't been quite the same since that super hot ruck two weeks ago. But today I was solid.

Plus, I think I figured out the starting position better. I put the bar a 1/2 inch lower on my chest and the hold rack position immediately felt more balanced and stronger, and I could feel my lats again
I thought it was about just laying back more but with the higher rack position it just made me lose balance. It seems very  much like the low bar squat position difference; it shifts the moment arm towards the triceps more,and lets me chest my lats in there better too.

Too low is now good but I'll find it,

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 ...
