"Push Press' 1.0 :185 x 1 x 11, 16 kg swing vo2 22 x 8, laterals rear delts 3 x 10 12's

 Decided to give into the mistake and actually TRY  to use my legs a  bit at the start.I've spent SO much energy trying NOT to I wonder what letting go of that  might create?

Today was a very good first start though

Still have to locking knees after unracking though AND Spot the  X. But a quick twitch/flex of the legs should help a ton:

Create starting speed

Take pressure off the front delt at the bottom/start

Work my quads

Make it a more total body feat of strength lift:  My standing push incline press lol

THIS is the BALLISTIC LIFT AND START I've been looking for I think. A slightly closer stance will help too

185 x 1 x 11

 Not happy. shoulders  just tight and kinda achy from roughhousing the gabe dog yesterday. rush the lifts of course and could not fine the line or the timing 

168.8 again. got to fix this

168.8 !! yikes

walk got slowed down when I thought I saw a homeless guy walking around with a gun in his hand!

took the long way home and called police. they didnt find him but it definitely changed everything on that last mile 

40 kg swings 10 x 5/5 22 min, 40 kg belt squat 4 x 10, press 5 x 1 115 lbs, rev grip pullaparts 3 x 20

 terrible sleep last night (dogs) but still was solid. as much as I don't want to admit it the light fast swings are definitely making a difference

As Louie always said, if just go heavy you get slow and loose coordination

Plus doing 5/5 is making a difference too

very happy with bell height and power

"One Cue" 180 x 1 x 5, 185 x 1x 5, 190 x 1 x 2 swing v02 15:15 22 x 8, floor pushups 3 x 20, rev pullapart

 Have to say it was a good day

Only used One Cue: "take it off with the chest" and everything else just fell into place

swings were much better. I go you go style with nick. no clock made sure to use my heavy  bell form too

170.2

215 x X,205 x 1 x 3 (+2 misses) pbar pushups seated laterals, rev band curls

 Overcomplicated it. Again

Went  from just "take it off with the chest" to big air, rotate under, take it off with the chest,let it settle,, then drive

and was all over the pace

this  215 was a bit higher/ better than last week but nowhere close :(

36 kg swings 12 x 5/5. 36 kg belt squats, 4 x 8, bar press 125 x 1 x 5, rev grip pullaparts 3 x 20

 this was strong. 36 kg was a perfect weight, this needs to go into the rotation from now on

my swing feels really good again and I wonder if it is the light swing vo2 work? I had made my mind to take it out now not so sure but today was strong. going back to 5/5 was definitely the  right move
