175 lb Press 4 x 2 1 x 3 PR, box pistols, floor pushups, laterals



This went way better than expected, after five days of no training at all. Very pleased. It looks like I needed a rest?

Press
45 x 5
65 x 3
85 x 3
105 x 2
120 x 2
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 2 x 4 sets ( video below of 3rd set, hardest of the previous ones)
175 x 3 PR ( video above.)


Man I just felt great, rock solid and the groove was there Perhaps this is the key for max efforts- a week of no pressing!

Oh and a new belt as well! Since I'm pressing like a weightlifter I decided I should use a weighlifter's belt! Worked great for it's initial voyage



Box pistols
4 sets of 6/6

right side coming along much better, don't need to hang on with second hand now. also, a key is to lift left leg HIGHER than on left leg side! way better control on descent than just letting the leg hang down. Must  be activating the left rec fem  connect something on right side

Floor pushups
3 sets of 40
a  bit wider hand position and plenty in the tank

laterals
3 x 10/10 with 15's
easy

BW 170.2
BF 12.4

After bath

a good one!

 This went perfectly. the cues all worked. keeping the hips forward at the sticking works This technique sacrifices a bit of starting speed ...
