This went way better than expected. DOMS hit hard this morning and my hamstrings calves and glutes and shoulders were all feeling the work of the last two days. Combine that with all the anxiety of this bullshit that's going on in the world and pressing heavy was hard to get my head wrapped around
But taking my own medicine I didn't think about it at all and just got under the bar and did my best.
It went very well especially considering how sore my shoulders were
Press
65 85 105 x 3
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1 fast!
205 x 1 not good
205 x 1 found the groove ( video above is of this set)
210 x 1 x 2 set
215 x 1 x 2 sets
205 x 1 x 2 very solid
the key is really loading the bow until full hip tension and then driving into the bar. The sets that didn't go well I rushed
But even the bad sets were decent.
The technique and cues are proving themselves, especially considering this is only my second heavy day using the current method.

That’s a lot of push-ups.
I’m back to blogs now trying to avoid Facebook. Although google host this blog....
Outstanding work volume again. Really smoked the shoulder girdle.
thanks man, it's particularly hard when I'm not under the bar correctly. on the days when the techniques better I hardly feel the shoulders at all
they're basically half reps, just to where upper arm is parallel to ground, focus is on triceps and not overstressing the shoulder capsule. it's a triceps assistance move
Strong work!
thanks Rob! things are really coming to together for me in this lift. finally understanding all the pieces I need to be consistent with the groove no matter the weight
