Great time lifting with so many friends at WFAC tonight. Even though I couldn't squat heavy, my knee felt much better than Tuesday and I was able to go to 365 without a problem. Also my deadlifts felt good for the first time since June.
Squat
45x5x3, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 365x6 (last one paused)
Notes: Could still feel my left knee on the descent, a little crabby but so much better than Tuesday. Hopeful that by this coming Tuesday, I'll be able to take it up to at least 405. Regardless, whatever is inexplicably wrong seems to be getting better. As long as that's happening, I'm happy to take it slow.
Deadlift
495x6 @ 8.5
Notes: Technically this a PR, since I never, ever, ever do 6 reps for deadlifts. Ever. I was feeling the energy in the room tonight so went for an extra rep. It's also the first time since June that my pull didn't feel off and harder than it should have for a given weight. I'm still a far ways away from my best DLs from earlier this year (575x5, 585x4, 600x3), but it was nice to do an extra rep and still feel I had more than 1 rep left in the tank, at a not insignificant weight. Very happy about this.
