175 x 1 x 5, 185 x 1 x 5 ( layback style) 16 kg five mine 15:15 swing test 100 reps

 This took a few warmup sets ( and almost tweaking my tricep again with  95!) but I think it went well over

I just have to 'THINK RIGHT' when I press or my left overloads, even with light weight.

Once I remembered that it was solid

Chest up, spot X, unrack

Lock legs, layback and pause a bit

Think RIGHT and press

Also DON'T  tuck elbows in, let then flair abit ( naturally)

135 x 1
155 x 1

205 x 4 misses! re tool. bad day

 Little sleep and bad at that. Felt "ok" but then both training partners out but still had a good attitude.The new technique felt great up to 195  but then Nothing at 205. Even just put five on the end trying to be as  casual about it as possible but only the third one made 3/4! fuck me

went back down to 135 with the old layback then press style and it felt ok. Still feeling like I'm psychologically protecting myself at 205. 195 was no problem

44 kg swings 25 x 5( 35 min) gob squats 24 kg x 4 x 3,pullaparts

 Left thumb was wonky so that slowed me down a bit but didn't really bother my grip or technique just had to concentrate on set up more

Other than that pretty strong workout

goblet squats

16kg x 4
24 x 4 x 3
decided not to go on as my left biceps tendon was moving around and that's not good and my abs were yelling at me so back to belt squats

pullaparts 3 x 30

170 x 1 x 4 175 x 1x 4, 185 x1 190x 1,pbar pushups 4 x 10, 20 kg swings 5 x 5/5

 Changed the start setup to  hips and elbows directly under the bar, with my head more in neutral than looking up

Got tired of not feeling stable and rooted at the start much less HOLD the rack position strongly

this worked well. Have to focus more than ever though on spotting the X as I press

35 lb ruck

 This went great, except for messing up the pause function on the watch all went well

super super fast. I was right at 16:30 miles from the start and even had some 5:17s at the end but messed up the overall time when I stopped to talk to the huskies lol

worth it

35 seems the perfect weight  as I can really go fast and the stress on the feet knees and hips seem much easier

Dont know if it's because of 11 years of 50-45 lb weekly rucks and it'll get harder if I don't do them but digging it now

Almost feels like a runner again
