155-195-180 pyramid layback press, laterals, rear delts, bar pushups

 It took me awhile to reverse engineer what I did so naturally just a few weeks ago then promptly forgot

I have to layback WITH the bar. 

What I  was doing (wrong) was trying to lay  back but pushing the bar up almost at the same time

When I go back with the bar 1) it helps me go back as my upper body is now super weighted and 2) when I hit that layback spot and THEN pushing up it counterweights me and keeps from losing my balance backwards

Took me a bunch of sets 65-155 and back down to figure it out

BUT that's the key . STAND UP,LOCK KNEES, LAYBACK WITH  THE BAR, THEN PRESS

185 x 1 x 2 these weren't great timing wise
190 x 1 x 2 same
195 x 1 x 2 now it's locking in
185 x 1 x 2
180 x 1 x 2
