205,210,200 x 1 x 2, 24 kg swings, floor pushups

 Well as bad as this went monday, that's how good it went today. And, as usual, for no good reason as I had barely any sleep and woke up feeling tired and pissed.

But sometimes when I'm too tired to overthink things it works out and it seemed to today

Went back to my old techniques and it went great

arched setup
false grip
spot the X
lock in a drive ( no long pause)
keep eyes on X

I've finally come to realized that nothing is going to be perfect, and every technique change I make will have it's limitations as well as strengths and at least this one has proven itself ( 8 225 lb presses)

My T spine was jacked up after Monday's session and I knew that could be a problem. My lumbar spine loves extension, my upper spine does not, and told me so, in no uncertain terms

I've learned to not argue with my body anymore
SO Press
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1 x 2
205 x 1 x 2
210 x 1  x 2
200 x 1 x 2




the only problem I had was when I lost the X and the bar drifted forward at the top

VERY HAPPY with these, especially after doing heavy on Monday  as well

24 kg swings 5 x 8/8

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 ...
