Fucked it all up but ground it out. Have never attempted it before so the first one I filmed had a slight push at the bottom.
Scratch that and go again. Did ok but used 2x10kg bumpers and a small 5kg plate, couldn't see the weight with the camera placement.
Scratch that too and replace with a 10 and 15kg bumper. But in my haste I left 2 x 10's on one side. Tried to unrack it and took a bit to work out what was going on lol. Fuck that one off and try again. End result below...And morning weight for proof. Dropped a few kgs overnight
Well done Whitey!! I know what you mean about camera miss takes lmao. TFW you replay and can't see the weights on the BB... fffuuu
Yeah that is a really narrow grip, man. Do you find the bar has a tendency to drift further out front when you do it like that? I am experimenting with a wider grip to deal with this specific issue. I want the BB to scrape my chin.
Edit: that looks to be an epic dump you took in the morning
I knew someone would mention that. I never hold at lockout, just the way I train to keep everything under tension. Will make it a bit more obvious next time

Gave it another go today. Quick warmup at 60kg's after my front squats, then attempted 75...no way that mofo was going up today. Didn't want to do 72.5 as you wouldn't see the plates. So did 70kg again with a longer lockout. Still a grinder after the 75kg fail Better kunce or do I need to hold it longer still?
Dropped a bit more weight to throw things in my favour though. 78.3kg after a 300g shit this morning
Much better lockout Yes, 1-2kg feels like a tonne extra when it comes to the overhead press. I haven't been able to better my attempt since my injury. I am programming more volume in though so hope to finish the year on a high.
