215 make, 220 miss 205 x 1 x 4, 20 kg swings

 Close but no cigar. Over corrected BUT the base idea/technique is right. Lay back WITH the bar then press. Last week I arched too hard at the start and didn't leave myself anywhere to lay back. Today I was too upright and instead of leaning back enough I did up and down which lead to soft knees which lead to bar out in front

But it was the first time over 205 with this technique so I'm not displeased,

155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1 ( ugly)
215 x 1 meh
220 miss ( way too rushed)
205 x 1 x 4 all solid then missed the 5th one :(

Have to unrack with more, but not maximal, arch. then lay back with the bar tightly. Freefalling doesn't work. I need to build more tension and find the precise layback angle to press from. Not too slow, though, either
The arch  needs to go back,, not down
