205,215 and 220 miss, wt pushups, one arm laterals

 Back on track and again and Monday feels fine. Tried switching it twice and now I know. this is the day. Overall very happy with today although definitely was 'off' compared to what I want. It's also my second heavy  day in seven so not so bad from that perspective, either

Body felt good, plus I was heavy ( 177) and slept well. Plenty of mental prep and stretch time so no excuses there

Warmups went well too 

Press
65 85 105 x 2
135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1

Definitely not loading my hips enough and leaking through the knees/ I got the chest up technique right but not the hips. I tried to initiate through the hips first BUT because I wasn't hip locked in my knees gave
then onto 215
This went pretty well actually. the best starting hip position and tighness yet. but unfortunately not on the next three at 220



Looking at the videos  now I see I had the bar too high on my chest and that's what put the bar back over my heels so much. I struggled  with lockout balance a lot today.
then down to 205 for 4 singles ( second rep miss! ?)
205 x 1 third set

205 x 1 5th set( best of the bunch)

 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...
