6:15am - Warm up, some primal move, arm bars, get-ups
We discussed various technique considerations for the press, including staying tight in the abdomen, and looking at the bell at the sticking point in a heavy press to faciliate additonal muscles firing to help the press. Some advanced techniques there.
Worked on some bottoms up presses, bottoms up front squats which help prep the press
Did some swings, and some "up downs" to further help prepare the press (plank position horizontal)
Pressed the 28kg for 3, 32kg for 2, 36kg for a single. Practicing looking at the bell at the sticking point. Ended the session by going for the 40kg press, nailed it on both sides, fastest and strongest the 40kg has ever gone up for me. Particularly on the R side. Kevin did not think it looked like a max press, and that I had some more to give. I am delighted. I am track, next time we test, going for the 44kg.
7:30am - End
