SQ: 255 5/5/5

OP: 125 5/5/4

DL: 325 5

Notes:

SQUAT: Light day today, going for form and explosive power on these. Was really feeling the stretch reflex and I suspect many of these were well below parallel. I did Kelly Starrett's 10 minute squat test last night and I was feeling good and lose, able to hit depth easily.

OVERHEAD PRESS: Close...so close! Working on hip drive. I was pressing in the seated press rack, due to the actual squat rack being busy. Looks kind of like this so I have to take a few steps back so that I'm not straddling the seat. It's a hassle but it's doable. Hard to get properly set under the bar though, having to step over fixtures on the floor. I will get 3/5 next time.

DEADLIFT: Today is my favorite day, as I enjoy squats and overhead presses, but I especially enjoy deadlifts for whatever reason. 325 went up easy, this is the one lift for me that keeps progressing at a steady pace. Feels good.
