215 press 220 miss x 2, 205 x 1 x 3, db triceps ext, side raises rear delts

 Slept poorly last night ( dogS!) and trained solo so all things considered it wasn't bad. Brain fatigue created all the mistakes ( too tired to think?) but overall technique was decent and the 215 was perhaps the best I've ever done it

The 220 misses and the subsequent 205 misses were caused by  pressing from the hands not the hips but that was the only  real technique flaw. Stronger than expected.
They KEY  POINTS

1) setup with hips in front of bar spotting the X

2) Unrack and hold tension in legs, staying on X

3) drive into the leg/hip tension STAY ON X

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 ...
