160 x 5 x 3, x 3 x 3, 20 kg swings 5 x8/8, 32 lb wt pushups

 This went great. Lowering the weight to 160 was a good move. Then  after 3 sets of 5 and one set of 4 I realized/remembered why I stopped doing fives TOO HARD TO BREATHE  after three. Then I lose the groove and it's about muscle not technique and my left shoulder doesn't like that

I can hold my breath for 3 reps but not 4 so I'm changing it to 8 sets of 3, at basically 75% of max. So very Westside

I'll go up to  165 for that next week.

The key to the setup is to simulate the back arch I get on the negative rep. Set up with the hips in front like that and knees locked and then  arm drive. worked great

 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 ...
