Well, back on track! This feels good and I didn't have to wait too long, either.Looking back at those Wednesdays workouts prior to my best ever 225 lb press this was the form and workloads I was doing
Thumbless grip.Bar high on the chest, almost the clavicle. Swing under the bar and take off with the legs but lock them at start. but not squeezing glutes. Chest up and stays up
Spot the X and drive the bar to the X when I press BUT initiate the press with hip drive ( on locked knees). Let the elbows stay under the bar but not try to get them in front of the bar.
A vertical line drive towards the x with vertical forearms and elbows under the bar.Straight line
A secondary hip drive ( again with locked knees) at sticking point
Today went great
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 2 x 4 started a little rough as I was pressing hands first then hip drive. That's backwards. Hips first then hands straight up
then onto 185 and what turned out to be 8 more sets! I was thinking 4 but it felt like I was figuring something important out
this felt great. SO much speed and such a nice straight line. much more natural
24 kg speed swings
5 x 8/8 about 3 sec rest /sets
Floor pushups
2 x 50
