Solid press technique day 175/185 x 2 x 8 sets, 24 kg swings, wt pushups

 Very good session. Got almost everything right and things moved very well

Took the weight off with my arms well. Locked in quickly ( although I still layed back a bit too much ) and, most importantly, paused strongly before starting the press and it worked well.

Also, set my grip with torque and man did that seem to help. Have lots more to explore with this idea.

What is next is when I unrack the bar just freeze, then pause for tension, then press. Even the slightest layback then lower the bar which I don't want. I do this more on the second rep than  the first here



When I freeze well there is less knee movement at the start. Just have to remember to really lay back hard when I do and get under the weight  at that point. Not try to do it in stages

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 ...
