175 x 2 x 12 sets ( new technique ) 24 kg swings, floor pushups

 This worked great!

My idea to do the set up and unracking with my head up and eyes forward from the start worked great. Seemed perfectly balanced on my feet

But it took me 6 sets or so to realize I have to drive my hands first and NOT throw my head first or the bar also goes forward

But when I pushed hands first from the new starting position it worked like a charm VERY fast reps

These are  sets

10 and 12


Everything else just fell into place

Set up straight ahead, drive the hands. I  hope it stays that simple

Lots of muscles being worked at new angles in new ways so THIS time I will take it slower than normal and build the groove correctly

Press
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 2 x 12

24 kg swings 

5 x 8/8 felt really good and fast . AFTER the first set. always tough to transition from pressing to swinging

Floor pushups
2  x 53 strong

BW 174.8 !
BF 14.2

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 ...
