Pushed Boxing Pics

These negs were shot at 800ASA, I usually shoot Tri-x at 200, so I pushed the film 2 stops. The pushing process raises contrast and grain and leaves limited shadow detail. This film was processed for 15 minutes at 20C with D-76 mixed 2/1. I want to experiment a  it more with my development to try to make better negs, possibly Rodinal developer, possibly stand development or Rodinal-stand together. I have to improve on what I got this time round, shadow detail is lost because of underexposure but I should be able to reduce the grain and contrast using stand development. Rodinal would add grain but also a might help with acutance.
