170 x 1 x 5, 175 x 1 x 5, 195,205 205 static holds, 20 kg swings 4 x5/5, 24 kg swings 4 x 5/5, band pushdowns rever bar curl

 This went, well, perfectly. I've never done ten reps so exactly the same in the press

Made a discovery this morning during BodyMaintenance, (at 5 am) that may have permanently fixed my falling back at lockout problem

It occurred to me to me that I should drive my chest up at the sticking point not my hips forward. that hip drive creates a counter action of laying back. I've been thinking thats how I get into my arch but the chest up drive wedges me under the bar with my COM IN FRONT OF THE BAR, NOT FALLING BACK!

Of course we'll see how it does with 205 + but I have a good feeling about it

The  static holds are crucial as they are the critical point and I'm not strong or confident there yet but today was better

The Setup

Think right

Hold bar high

Chest up
