Pressing Matters chapter 3

team,
I had a sick poolside session. They say it was 100 degrees in the shade. But the bell abides.

Pumps to loosen up, prying a bit. Purple Jump Stretch band shoulder dislocates, felt hard. Leaning into it was primal.
16kg swings, sets of 5 and 10 each arm. Logging in. . .

Press
16kg Double x 3
20kg See Saw x 3
20kg double x 3
32kg Ipsilateral 1 Leg Deadlift x 3 rl
28kg C&P 1rl for 3 each side.

I repeated this cycle using sets of 5 for all drills. I felt up to spec and worked through my midsection. I press like a piston these days. Caught myself in mid-slice about 6 weeks ago-I have been shifting my weight foot-to-nasty foot in my presses and developing an uncool lordotic in the ignition stage of my pressing. To correct it, light doubles with a hard forward lean, and a revisit with the arc I create on lift-off. Light doubles keep my neck and high-thoracic unkinked and the access to Trusty's 28kg makes the 24-28-32kg range complete, and the double 16 and 20 work can now serve as a remedial series while not taking my neck module off line. I am on it. As are you. I imagine nice numbers and solid menu in your session today.
