It's official. My deadlift is by best lift, followed by my squats. My upper body lifts suck.

Why does it fascinate me to find a site that tells me what I already know?

Squats: (275x5)x3.

These are my light squats (which are not much lighter than my "heavy" sets of 5 but I refuse to go <275 for a set of 5) so I used them to try and hone in my form. Lately my squats have felt very sloppy. This morning I concentrated on hip drive and the master cue. The last set seemed easy and perfect, which is good since nothing usually feels that way at 5am.
