195-205-185 New/Old Layback technique

 This was a very interesting workout. Pretty much had no idea what I was going to do going in. Pretty  much tried everything three times and nothing seems to work consistently

I was going through my YouTube PR press videos and organizing/cleaning up the playlist when I found this old technique

It seems I layed back  first then immediately drove into the press. Laying back first seems to activate the forward hip  drive

Tried it today and it worked very well

1) false grip

2) stand up lock out looking at X

3) layback and when I hit terminal position immediately press

The only slow reps I had were the ones where I pushed my hips forward first instead of laying back OR did not lay back enough before starting to press (making me too vertical)

















20 kg swings 4 x 8/8

parallel bar pushups 3 x 10
 need to put these back in

135 x 5 x 5 ! db rear delts 5 x 10 w/20s straight bar curls 4 x 8 with 35 lbs

  This went great stronger than expected. Next week its 145 for 5 x 3 then build I think the straight bar curls are having a positive effect...
