Adam is right. I did that last August. My bench was 75 lbs short of a PR...but I hit solid squat and dead PRs. 2 out of 3 still feels good. It feels even better when you still place even though you know you have a lot more that they didn't see.
I also have financial reasons for possibly abstaining. I have a BUNCH of trips planned this summer, and I don't make much money.
2/13
Squat singles at 455, 495 (RPE 8), 515 (RPE 9.5, recreational bar/rack at gf's gym really isn't set up for taking heavy attempts. Lot of bar whip and a long walk out of the rack. Anyhow, still had about 15-20 lbs left in the tank, and I'm overreached, I think.)
2 sec pause squat 415 3x3
--Will drop volume dramatically next week, hitting a PR deadlift double at 630 on Tues and a PR squat double at 515 on Fri.
edit
After three of us shoveled ice for an hour, our steep driveway was finally navigable. So...
2/17
Deadlift 631x2 (PR, RPE 8.5, another rep in the tank for sure. First rep got a little forward at the knees, and I think the baggy sweatpants kind of threw me. Still, it was fast, and the second was faster.)
Snatch grip deadlift 445x3, 533x3 (PR, RPE 8)
--Good day. Had a time warming up and seemed to get stronger as the workout progressed.
It falls well short of Jordan, so I'm not too excited.

Bench (paused) 345x1 (had another 20 lbs or so in me, but painful)
Press 224x3 (misload, which I believe resulted in a PR or close to it), 214x3,3
Db row 155 5x5 (alternating arms with very little rest at any point in the 50 total reps)
Sorry your shoulder isn't feeling so great, Kyle. Let me know if I can help at all. Congrats on the PR pull.
Thanks, John.
