Speed press 175 x 12 x 1, wt pushups, pullaparts

 This went great. Pretty much all the little changes worked like a charm

1) bar higher on chest

     this helped keep the bar from rolling as I got my hips under it and arched into the unracking

2) elbows vertical under the bar on unrack, not up. with the false grip it helped me push the bar back, with the thumbed grip it's not necessary. 
Also easier to push up on the bar after unracking and keep the bar above the pins before the press.
Feel WAAY more solid under the bar

3)Unrack, lock knees then go. Can't avoid having to find the right tempo. Not to fast but not too slow. Key is locking the knees hard and keeping them locked. Just have to get stronger

4) hands were 1/2 finger width wider. This just happened today by accident. Set up with a false grip then wrapped my thumbs and it gave me just a little more room. I think this goes well with the vertical forearms on takeoff

sets 2,5,9 and 12





   Wore Oly belt for a change because it's light day but actually felt even tighter . Might try in wednesday
