215,220 (!) 225 miss, 205 x1x 5. weighted pushups,laterals

 This went great! made a very strong and solid 205, 215 and 220 ( my 19th time!) then missed 225 twice. The first miss I dropped my elbows right at the start and the second one I tucked my chin when I should have arched back more 

But both  attempts flew off my  chest.

This technique is definitely  correct. Just need a lot more practice but the mechanical cues are right

Dialed it down to

1) Unrack and FREEZE

2) throw the head

3) Re throw the head

A bit more detailed

setup with bar high just under clavicles

swing under and elbows UP

spot X

FUCKING FREEZE after unracking. FREEZE!

Throw head back

Rethrow head back just at sticking point( or just before)

Warmups went great
65 85 105 were fine

135 x 2 almost too fast left triceps a bit tweaky!

155 x 1
175 x1 fast
195 x 1 excellent

205 x 1 strong

215 x 1 no problem although it looks like I shift forward a bit on lockout
220 x 1 on first attempt!
225 miss I can see right before I launch I dropped my elbows a bit which through everything forward
225 x miss kept elbows up but lost back arch at stick point. fell back :(
Then 5 perfect sets of 1 with 205!

This was a solid workout

 It must be my stride length that shortens and slows my pace down on days like this because it seems like my leg turnover is fast first two ...
