215 lb press x 4 singles, 205 x 1 x 5, wt pushups, laterals

 This went very well. Not perfectly but I'm happy with the overall result. By the end of the workout all the little technical details were falling into place. for the first half of the workout I got the hip position right then  at the down set time I got the layback involved and all worked perfectly

ready to put it all together. again lol

65 85 105 x 3
135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1 fast!

then 205 x 1 decent but no enough layback ( which I didn't remember until later)
215 x 1 x 5 attempts( made 3 and 3 were 3/4 locked out) and one dump ( I didn't count)





then 5 downsets with 205, the last were the best after I realized I had to set the hips then layback then press! "the only thing harder than figuring it out is remembering to do it!"


the cues seem to be:
1) hips forward after unracking ( FORWARD NOT DOWN- HIPS NOT KNEES)
2) Layback then press

if I don't layback enough I have to drive the bar back. If I DO then I can press straight.Most of my misses behind today were because I was driving the bar to compensate for lack of layback,then when I started to layback the push backward took the bar out of the groove
