 Very solid day. Wanted to get a bunch of volume in over 200 and work on solidifying the new technique with heavy  weights and that's exactly how it went.

Learned a bunch too

1) I can't hold the bar at the clavice or above.If I do when I unrack with the 'back' technique the heavier loads push me too far back

2) When I do unrack using "back" I also HAVE TO PUSH UP INTO THE BAR. I wasn't doing that at all today and my right arm side of the bar barely cleared the pins while the left side was 3 inches plus off the rack

If I don't have bar pushup tension I think my scoliosis spine defaults to that right side lower. It could be my  left side taking more weight or the right side taking more weight but it doesn't feel like that.

And,, when I finally did pushup on the bar on the fifth  set of 5 the bar was clear and much more even

Got decent sleep early but was up since 2 am, not optimal
