205,210,215,220 215, 210 press, wt pushups, one arm laterals, rear delts

 This went way better than it could have, I was dead beat today, almost sleepwalking. But I wanted to stress test this new starting position and while it wasn't even close to perfect , it worked. Whenever I an press 220 ( even just to 7/8 lockout) it's a good day

Especially weighing 172!

Just not very focused at all and had trouble "feeling" my  legs, in a tightness sense. Kept shifting focus to upper body

Also good news, calf/knee really good after yesterdays ruck so I'm on the right track for that too

Two things

I HAVE TO LOCK THE KNEES ( that's the whole reason for this new upright stance, it should be much easier to lock and hold than bowing back, but it was the first time with real weights so I rushed a bit. But the lock is KEY

SPOT THE X ( I missed 205 first time out as I just threw my head but lost the X and the bar went in front

Lesson learned

135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1 Not as easy or light as it should have been. Plus freakin' cold in the garage

205 x 1

215 x 1

220 x 1



but I missed 205 first attempt then 210 on the down set

I  was sore and tired

wt pushups
53 x 10 x 3

one arm laterals 3 x 8/8 20

bent laterals 3 x 10 20lb

BW 172.4
BF 13.7

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 ...
