225 x 1 (16th) Best Press day ever

 Everything worked like a charm

Every rep the same and damn near perfect

I jumped from 205 to 225 and nailed it on the first try

Then five down sets with 205 and each rep was damn near perfect as well

I had decided to take three attempts with 225 if needed because making that lift is the key of the day

But it wasn't necessary

The key was laying back after setting the arch and really trying to go back as much as I could before pressing. The  seemed to really get everything tight and coiled; like in my old paused benches

Set the Arch

Layback as far as I can and spot the X

Layback and press to the X
