220 lb press attempt, 205 x 1 x 4, floor pushups, laterals



Well this didn't go well but with all the crazy shit thats going on right now I'm glad I got under the weight .
For FOUR attempts lol. Plus one more where I unracked and somebody forgot to give me the press call

I was focused on laying back more at the start and I think ended up arm driving it from the start instead of hips then push almost simultaneously but still in that order

oh yea, here it is from my blog two weeks ago:
"It came to my just yesterday that I should initiate the press the same way as I used to do so on my bench press: with my legs and hips! Wasn't sure that was going to work but it did and especially in conjunction with the press signal being called by Glenn. "

The first attempt was the best,as in fast as hell  off my chest but then I lost balance backwards. The next attempts were now that I see them, arm attempts

As always the setup is everything
Plus I dropped my face at the sticking points for all but the last attempt and by then I was just out of juice

the 205s for 4 singles weren''t bad
this is on the way up

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
