195-215-200 all small plate experiment, , pushdowns curls

 The experiment continues. Used just the small change after I got to 135 and it was very interesting after 200 lbs. I think my CNS is used to the weight difference at 205-220 and when it didn't show up at these weights it adjust a bit (nowhere near as bad as monday) but enough to make the groove not perfect

BUT, very close. 

Putting the bar too high on the clavicle is not good, ends up making me lose balance backwards. RIGHT under the collarbone is correct

Unrack the bar with hips in front LOCK the knees hard then drive. Too long a wait and not enough  acceleration. Too soft knees and bars out front

Press 
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1 x 2
195 x 1 x 2

then just added 2 five for 205 went ok. this is where my cns expected uneven I think
then another set of five for 215 for TWO singles. the second one better

then back down to 210
then two more sets of 205 ! not great but not bad either. mostly timing stuff but strong
then two sets of 200 the second on much better.

WHEW! that was a lot of work especially after Monday heavy ass day

then band pushdowns and curls

BW 175.4
BF 14.5

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 ...
