"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."

215lb press x 1 x 4 sets, 205 x 1 x 3 sets, floor pushups one arm laterals
This went well, at the end. Started great, got a little rough, got it figured it out then smooth sailing.
All the cues and corrections from last week worked great; I just ended up pushing the bar back a little TOO far to the face and had to make a correction. But I've never done 4 singles with 215 before, although it took me seven sets to do it.
Warmups and first 205 went great
then onto 215 and made it but a bit rough
I thought that if I pushed the bar back to my face the second hip drive would automatically happen and it didn't. After this sets I missed the next one then made the third
this was the second miss. At the time I had no idea what I did wrong, but now, looking at the video I can see that instead of loading my hips forwards I arched back, the bar dropped and I ended up pushing fwd
then made the next two. I lost one forward and two going too far back On my first make at 215 I notice I shifted my weight back on the unracking and then had to reclaim the middle position, I think this threw me back enough to put the bar a tad out front
On the third set I unracked it straight up which is important it seems
The elbows up on the unrack worked
Then shifting hips forward worked
Pushing to face works if after launch ( which as FLYING, even the misses) I re drive the hips instead of trying to keep using my arms
then 4 single with 205 which flew
Very happy with this. Next week 220 for three singles then 225 with two plates for my Birthday challenge workout
floor pushups
3 x 50
this was tough but do able. just going to keep this set workload until ( if) it ever gets too easy
