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.

Christine, something else to consider and I’ll admit it I usually scrub through video until you are about to set up, but I noticed on this one, unless you are a seamless editor, that after the first set, you basically sit up, look left, look right, then lay back down and take the weight again. When you are doing heavy attempts like this it is OK to rest a little, a few minutes. Your fatigue with heavier weights it not just measured in how out of breath you are. This is not an excuse to take long rest period all the time because things are “hard” I’d say any time you are in the RPE 9/10 zone just to give yourself an extra minute. It will help.
