205 x 1 x 10, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, light pushdowns 3 x 15

 This felt really solid alhough 3 reps or so were out in front as I pushed myself away from the bar instead of falling back then pushing

This seems to be a key point. Once I lock in I have to fall away from the bar ( at least mentally) before I push up. The issue is I also have to maintain hand and arm tension in the rack.

I was a bit 'flat' today from mondays work and it took 4 or so sets to loosen up and feel the groove

Warmups up to 195 went great. First set with 205 was ok but not explosive

Third and fifth sets were great. fourth  a little wonky


then 6 a bit slow, 7 and 8 were great

9 was slow but 10 was one of the best of all. Have to keep my elbows higher
CUES ARE;

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 ...
