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

Love following your blog Rif. You tell it how it is.

215 x X x 3 205 x 1 x 5, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, laterals db curls

 despite the misses at 215 from sheer fatigue ( monday) the groove and form was more than decent. Really created leg stiffness just as I dro...
