205,210,215 weight ladder, wt pushups, one arm laterals, bent laterals

  These went kinda ok, missed two of the reps ( 205 in the first rung and 210 in the second) before doing them over but I think I figured out how to get into my "grind" position ( loaded bow) without starting in it.

True to form I didn't get it until after the work sets were done but I did a few and I think it has promise. I've tried this before and it didn't work then( bar got pushed forward as it did the first time I tried it today but THEN I realized I should try spotting the X on my ceiling and MAN did it fly!

If I can learn to start from a completely vertical position it will be the game changer

the five rep sets are working to strengthen my bow/drive position but it doesn't help the start and, with the work weights so light in 5x5 I can make a mistake and still easily correct.

So, it helps one issue but not the most important one, the start. 
This may be it though:

 these are the two weight ladder rungs, minus the misses 






Really bad sleep last night and the heavy swings and ruck took their toll, as expected. SO all things considered this was a decently strong workout

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
