205, 215 220 x almost, wt pushups, laterals, rear delts

 For the first time using this double head drive technique with real weight it went very very  well.Missed 220 twice as I didn't do the initial head drive strong enough to generate enough speed with the weight but it was very close regardless

The warmups went well. Mainly just have to get the timing down and do a whole bunch of reps with this technique before it's autopilot but I think it's going to work

Didn't get  my legs and hips quite tight enough it turns out as I was overly focused on the head drive thingy but the weights moved well.Also have to get hips in front of the bar MORE during setup. I was thinking it didn't matter as much with this new technique but it does. Set up in front of bar, tight glutes and then unrack

1) Spot the X
2) setup in FRONT of bar
3) pushup to unrack then FREEZE
4) drive head to initiate
50 REDRIVE head to lockout

Press 
65 85 105 x 3
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1 fast
195 x 1 fast

205 x 1 strong just jerky  timing
215 x 1 - not a solid lockout and got pretty  loose mid rep but the groove was correct
First miss with 220, did not throw my head enough on first drive and chin tucked
this second attempt was much closer but needed a stronger first head drive for the heavier load
One thing I did do right was lockin and freeze after unracking. knees were good

205 for 4 sets , as would have it set 2 was the best and I chose not to video it

overall very  happy  with today

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 ...
