Press New Technique ( again) 175-205-175, wt pushups, side raises, bent laterals

 This has promise. Increased the pin height one inch , bar higher on chest,elbows under the bar instead of in front of it.Looking straight ahead not back. Lock out the knees and THEN drive the bar and hips as I get my head out of the way

Learned some good things

1) I think this will work

2) I think I need to look straight ahead on unracking not down then look up

3) I need to drive the bar up first THEN drive the hips as my head goes back. If I drive my hips first the bar ends up forward

At first I tried to re arrange my elbows out to the side a bit after unracking but that didn't seem smooth or doable under real load

Also drove my head and hips first which also made the bar go forward

 LOTS of sets and even tried some doubles with 185 which just messed things up. Gotta get one rep right before worrying about two's

Press
135 x 2
155 x 1 fast
175 x 1 fast
185 x 1 fast
195 x 1 fast as well
205 x 1 decent
205 x miss( drove head back and hips forward first. Had to figure this out)
205 x 1 x 3
185 x 1
175 x 1
185 x 2 ( missed second) x 2
185 x 1
175 x 1








On wednesday going to start looking forward and NOT tuck my chin

THEN drive bar first letting head go back and hips go forward

Lots of little things to get solid but overall I found decent leverage pretty quickly here which is a grea sign AND I really like being upright at the start. Looks much better too

Wt pushups
bw x 10
53 x 10 x 3

side raises/rear delts
3 x 8/8 with 20s

BW 173.8
BF 13.5

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 ...
