Press was solid today – another rep PR. Apart from my squat falling apart, it’s been a good week.

Pressing was really good. I’m working to take my time more during setup, which is especially important to help with the dizzy factor. I want to rush because I don’t want to sit there forever holding and getting tired, but I have to keep telling myself it’s only a few more seconds — and if that’s going to kill my strength well, let it, and in time I’ll just get stronger. It pays off.

Back work is feeling strong and good. Crazy thing is, I feel like I’m not getting enough back work. I guess I like back work more than I thought.

JM Press – lowered the weight. I want to get better on technique. I keep watching JM’s video to ensure I’m doing it right.

Anyways, pretty good day.

Next week is 1+ week. Gonna make it a good one.
