215,220 and close miss at 222.5 press, wt pushups, side and rear laterals

 Finally a good press day! Tried to think as little as possible; I just concentrated on two things

Locking the knees

Eyes on the X

During the warmups I felt my head moving back as I initiated so I went with that and that actually seemed to be a good trigger

Press

65 85 105 x 2
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1 nice and fast. good line too

205 x 1
215 x 1  a little wobbly ( let my elbows flare) but overall strong
Since I've been getting nervous when 215 goes on the bar ( ridiculous) because it's the heaviest I've been going decided to just go to 220. the best rep of the day
Not quite confident for 225 so I split the difference 222.5 Decent, just shy of lockout. Rushed the start a bit and got a little "bouncy" and it cost me but still , it moved pretty well, I was under it good and it was close at the end
then five singles at 205, last four are shown



Couldn't be happier especially after the last two weeks
