I found pushing my hips forward slightly at the bottom and remaining in that position helped by CoG a lot on pressing tbh.
Agreed, hips through and big chest
Mixed session tonight.
Squats:
157.5 x 5/5/5
Some not so good reps, some better reps. Some a bit too deep, and again letting gaze wander during set.
Paused bench press:
92.5 x 3/3/3/3/3
Again not too bad at all.
Deadlifts:
200 x 0
Dunno what happened here. Perhaps my legs were tired from the squats. Setup never felt particularly right on any of the warm-ups. Maybe I didn't eat enough either, but 200 just did not want to come off the ground tonight.
SGDLs:
120 x 5/4
First time doing these in a long time. These really hurt your hands...
Some foam rolling and lacrosse ball work, then home.

Not a bad session this afternoon.
Squats:
120 x 5/5
Light squats.
Press:
67.5 x 5/5/5/5/5
Not too hard, except for last couple of reps on last set as I was a bit fatigued.
Barbell rows:
90 x 6/6/6/6
Not too bad.
Then home.

Don't know why but I imagined you around 80 ish.

I was around 90 for several years until the start of this one. At 80 kg I would not be able to be sufficiently strong to bench over a plate each side.

I'm guessing you're maintaining now? Strong lifts anyhow.

Great to hear
Decent session tonight.
Squats:

A bit harder.
Paused bench:
95 x 3/3/3/3/3

Chins:

Tonight wasn't a night I would get lots of chin ups done...
Some foam rolling then home.

Why not?
Your existence, as a concept has been a part of my life for about 7 years, and I guess if pushed to guess, I'd have gone for about 5 10

Not sure why you guys thought I was like five ten. If I was that height that 90 kg would be a much more palatable bodyweight.
Okay session tonight. Third heavy squat session this week.
Squats:
165 x 5/5/5
Hard.
Paused bench press:
97.5 x 3
Shoulders and arms were ****ed, after the other pressing work I have done this week and the squats just tired my out generally. Got the first set but with no spot didn't feel like attempting any more. Instead, I wanted to go home and eat pizza.
Then went home.
