175 x 3 deadstops x 5 sets, 185 x 2 deadstops x 4 sets, 205 x 1, 24 kg swings, wt pushups

 This went great AND I found something VITAL in looking back over the videos already. I had success on trying to hold the bar above the pins and finding the X after I started to press BUT I saw that my best reps ALL started with the elbows HIGH UP. IN FRONT OF THE BAR.

The reps that went forward or slowed came from a dropped elbow position, every one

Good news is that the elbows up reps were usually the first ones, the second and or third reps the elbows dropped( wasn't trying to keep them up consciously) and those were the slow ones

Gonna change that immediately!!

Cues
 1) ELBOWS UP IN FRONT OF THE BAR ON SETUP ( Bill Starr angle)

2) PUSH UP AND HOLD BAR ABOVE PIN ( FOCUS RIGHT ARM)

3) LOOK FOR THE X AS I PRESS

first rep elbows not high enough, second rep good, third rep too low


first rep elbows too vertical, second better, third so so
first rep elbows PERFECT, second rep ok third rep good
first reps pretty close to perfect, second so so and too straight  an upward path


first rep ok second rep better
both reps PERFECT!
Elbow position really good but definitely should be higher, especially at this weight and higher
 then 24 kg swings 4 x 8/8

wt pushups on paralletes

horiz bar with wrapped thumb
3 x 10 with 53

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 ...
