Re-edit…damn it, there it is[/quote]
Forget the press squat cleaning an axle like that is HARD people. Damn man![/quote]
Thanks Kalle. I used to do the mixed grip continental disaster but on my first attempt of that the axle slid down my forearm ripping open my scar a little and freaking me out a lot. So I went to a traditional clean, just squeezing harder
^ There are parts of me that hate the idea of that press, mainly my ass and lower spine. Unfortunately, the rest of me thinks “I must try this.”. Damn you. I will be attempting this in a few hours.

I fell 15 lbs short today. Somewhat tricky lift. Let the good times unfold.[/quote]
Nice 185 puts me 15lbs short as well. It is a tricky lift. Howd it feel overall?
I plan on doing them for more 3x5 style as an accessory in weeks to come might try to max it again in a month [/quote]
Best thing I have done to increase my bw geared lift amounts was stop eating diary and shed 20 lbs of bloat. Caesin is not my friend, my friend.
I think I will add them into rotation. I was moving between back squats and the z-press, press deadstop off the safety pins. Put it just below my stick point for OHP so it think is a good spot to focus on. The motion to get my head through my arms felt natural right up until the weight was moving me around a bit. Once I figured out where to put my legs and get solid, its a mice feel lift. But man, there is no cheat so when you cannot move the weight leaning back a bit sticks you on your back. The eccentric had me reclining a couple of times.
I think maxing out will be limited because there is little wiggle room once the weight starts to look for another path up.
I really wanted to hit bw but reality slammed down hard on my last attempt. I think your plan is a good one. Shall we set a date?
