Almost all good lifts.
On the last set, 2nd rep the bar made an up and down movement at your chest.
That is a red light.
But the good news is the 1st rep was a good one.
Take the PR!
Excellent job.
When testing if you can get one of us to give you commands it will be of huge benefit.
If not, next time, when you take it out of the rack, hold it still, wait 1 second, and say in your head “start”, then begin.
When it is at your chest, treat it like a pause set and once the bar is motionless say in your head “press” and then press it.
At lockout, once the bar is still and locked, pause a second or two and say “rack”.
Don’t rack until it is still and you pause.
Most beginners miss lifts due to commands.
We are here to help so don’t be afraid to ask.
