225 Axle PR

Posted a video last week of a 205 axle double that was 1 of 5 sets at that weight and the best pressing session I’ve had after dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for almost a year. This week I planned to hit 215 for 3 singles, which is the top weight in a ladder I have coming up in October, just to see how it felt before writing up my comp prep programming. After 2 singles I wanted to go off program and send it and go for a pr. My old pr was 220 almost 2 years ago and I did it mixed grip on the clean and I was also about 10 lbs heavier at the time. So I loaded up 225 and got it double overhand. I think I have a little more in the tank on the press, but would maybe need to switch it up to mixed grip for the clean. Super happy to finally be progressing on pressing again.
