205,215,220,210 x 1 x 4 , wt pushups, side and rear delts

 Wow up from the ashes a GREAT press day! Everything felt great and literally  didn't miss any  reps.

The lockouts on 220 and 215 weren't solid but the groove was and I could grind. Plus I did not lose my  balance as I pressed my hips forward at the start.Keeping my eyes on the X was the difference. It seems to be THE key.

Slept ok last night but the allergy meds worked and I didn't sneeze and hack all night so I felt good going in

A bit light  but probably over 174 at the start of the workouts

Press

65 85 105 x 2
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1 fast!
205 x 1 strong!

then right to 215 which was a win in itself
then 220 with a bullet ;)

But then FOUR 210 singles each  one as good as the other!

Man I'm happy with this. I'm finding my way with this groove and realizing just how key seeing and staying on the X is has made all the difference. HAVE to keep visual contact with it at all times from the very start to the lockout

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 ...
