Feed the mistake

 This started terrible and ended up ok,possibly great

Nothing worked today. Could not "pull the trigger" on this technique and missed all kinds of things. Was doing all the things I've been trying to do but the bar was all over the place

Then, I decided to 'feed the mistake'. My natural tendency is to "squeeze the sponge" to activate my lats and launch the bell from there. But it always go forwards and out.

I have to overthink things a lot NOT to use this "drop and pop" technique.

SO I decided to feed the mistake but aim the bar to my chin

worked very well. even tired from lots of heavy  misses. Plus, its very natural and I need something natural, overthinking is driving me crazy

175 x 1
195 x 1 x 2 out of front so I took it over
205 x 1 surprisingly very good
225 x X about forhead height. no power
225 x X ( two plates this time. ugly)
220 x X the same, nothing there
215 x X what?
205 x X!!
179 x X ok , now I know I have to do something else

Now squeeze the sponge and aim bar to face
179 x  fast!
205 x 1 decent
215 x 1!! weak lockout but hey and it launched off my chest
205 x 1 x 3!
179 x 1  x 2

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 ...
