295 200 and 205 press, wt pushups, side laterals rear delts

 Meh

I thought this was going to go much better as with all things, one thing gets fixed and another problem arises

This fixed my soft knee start problem, The start was great. But the groove loads my thoracic spine more than my lumbar spine and it's nowhere near as strong. OR flexible.My lumbar spine loves extension. My T spine does not and is mega tight .

Wrapping the thumb didn't help as I imagined either; actually just confusing the issue even more. 

205 definitely did not feel light in the rack position and moved pretty poorly although 195 motored!

Press

65 85 105 x 3 all great

135 x 2 fast
155 x 1 fast
175 x 1 fast as well!
195 x 1x  2 decent

then 200 x 1  x 2 sets
then 205 x 1 x miss, x 1, x almost, x 1 good ( no video) x 1 so so

not sure what I'll do wednesday

Edit:
I'll do this
1) rack the bar a bit lower

2) use false grip

3) repeat same rep scheme
2 @ 195
2 @ 200
3-5 @ 205

It's all easy 'til it's heavy

wt pushups
3 x 10 with 53 slow

side raises 3 x 10 w20

bent laterals x 10 with 20

BW 174.!
BD 13.9
W 58

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 ...
