190 lb standing press,Handstands, 44 kg belt squats, floor pushups, laterals



This went great today. Way better than expected. Put on the Innov8 trainers and pushed in a straight line and everything went up. Some better than others and that was dependent on mostly getting the best launch off the chest but the groove is the correct one for me. Basically a standing incline press.
Hey, I'd love to have the shoulders to be able to finish with my biceps next to my ears but that ain't going to happen and it's keeping me back. SO this will have to do

185 x 1 Fast!
180 x 1 even faster!





and had NO problem kicking up to the handstand. Now my erectors were screaming at me while I held it but it felt like a normal handstand has for most of my life. NO panic upside down at all. That is SO weird but I'll take it

Plus my freakin' handstand has returned and only next to being able to walk again does this take second place

More press mistakes from today

 1) Gotta engage the rhomboids when setting the low rack position.Lock in 2) Elbows up is crucial 3) 'Straight  up' on the unracking...
