145-205-185 side and rear delts,band pushdowns, reverse band curls

 This went ok but actually thought it would go better. I thought I should be able to 1) stick at least one 205 and get two. I missed a bunch but still was very self conscious about the set up and actually did feel the tricep on one of the warmups

In retrospect I was rushing the setup and taking too much weight on my arms as I stood up instead of 

1) setting the arch while spotting X slowly

2) Then rotating upper arm under the bar.

This unweights the arm on unracking but  but still lets me 'get under' it properly

But I was over focused on not tweaking my arm and it cost me power. Plus, not enough focus on stiff legs and ended up with too much knee bend 

BUT I handled a lot of decently heavy reps well
