Axle strict press
155 x 3
175 x 3
200 x 3
* Not being a barbell it's always a guessing game where hand placement needs to be in order to have even weight distribution. On the final set it was definitely lopsided in my grip and I tried to adjust on the fly. That's why I was so suspicious of my math in adding the weight up; this felt like air. Did have to rest-pause for a second on the third rep but that usually kills my strict press momentum and is grounds for failure.

I'm wondering if, in the absence of external markers, your hands naturally gravitated to the hand spacing where you'd be the strongest and that, with a barbell, the knurl marks are causing you to artificially select a hand spacing that's not ideal.
ReplyDeleteThat's possible. I usually place my hands right where the knurling begins.
