It's all easy til it's heavy lesson. again. new press technique fail

 Fuck

I thought this would work, I really did.

And just like the technique idea that inspired my quote it did work well , until it got heavy; then,

nothing.

it was a very stressful morning though, across the board and I was as unfocused as I've been of late but still thought the technique was solid and it would pull me through.

No. Freakin'. Leverage.

Press

65 85 105 x 3 nice

135 x 2 easy and fast

155 x 1 fast too

175 x 1 ok very good line but felt heavy

195 x 1 same got me worried

205 x miss!

205 x 1 to hard


210 x 1 max effort today here. what the hell?


215 x miss x 2!

205 x miss!! what the fuck?

195 x miss. ok this is a definite sign

185 x miss

Go back to old technique, unrack with hips forward, eyes on ceiling. false grip etc

185 x 1

195 x 1

205 x 1! not easy but hey, I'm freaking tired now

185 x 1

ok there's my answer : false grip layback technique. it ain't pretty but it's the best it seems for me

floor pushup

65
50

tri's fried

one arm laterals 3 x 10/10 20s

bent laterals 3 x 8 25s

BW 177.2
