Things went very right today and might have figured out a key piece of finishing the lockout with speed that up to now I haven't even considered
Warmups went well and used the technique I planned on:
1) Spot the X when I get under the bar
2) unrack by pushing up then locking the legs and freezing
3) initiate the press by throwing the head back
This went well except for a few reps that went forward and slowed slightly at lockout and couldn't see why
I couldn't throw my head back more and pushing my hips forward at the sticking point didn't really help. I was on the X but then I thought to re-throw my head back at the sticking point.If I didn't I tucked my chin and that slowed the lockout
This is 175lbs the 12th set where I really got the technique of the second head drive. worked great
Its VITAL that I come to a freeze position after I unrack AND I have arm tension. CANNOT let the bar REST on my torso and hold it up with the legs and hips.If I do I use the knees too much and "kick" the bar upthis is sets 1,3.5.7
It wasn't til set 9 and 10 ( which I didn't' video) that I grokked the idea of the second head throw
It makes a huge difference but, as usual, we'll see Monday
