Minus one point for the tiny bit of knee wiggle, but then plus 3 points for insane perserverance. Lol, that was funny as shit.

@Cyrrex I saw that little dip and also deducted points. I really need to work on some technique.
@aldebaran I am glad you found it funny. I think at one point it comes back down a little and then I still push it back up…eventually

That little dip is actually extremely difficult to avoid when you are at are near your max, in my experience. Your body subconsciously wants to do it, possibly because it knows you might fail without it. You just have to get over it, get a tiny bit stronger, and your body will drop that reflex. Until you get to the next max, anyway.

That technique is banned nowadays. What a shame
That OHP was epic. I say there’s value to grinding out a rep every now and again.
