Deadlift is coming a long I think. Squeeze looked better. Will get from direct side next time to check out midfoot

Medium Bench: 207.5x3x5

BB Curl: 90x8x3

LTE: 70x8x3

Rushed the first rep of the last set of tempos. It is sometimes difficult to nail the descent time. Knees feel a bit wonky when I do these. Also its good I filmed because I'm not going quite low enough

Could not get a vid of the Press - felt like it moved well. Also not the best angle for the DL. Getting better but not all the way there. Onward

Got forward on second rep of 305x2. Back feels tweaky but not tweaked. Otherwise good workout

Back was quite stiff today due to Friday's tweak. Thankfully not only did I get through everything as planned, it seems to be one of the times where the workout improves the situation. Should be 100% Wednesday I suspect

Back was still stiff from last Friday's tweak and DL looked crappy again. Sigh.

Squats felt good for once! I think I'll run out this cycle for 6 more weeks and see where we get

Deadlift: [135, 185, 225, 275] x5

Went light in DL for various reasons. Timing of training cycle works well for setting 1RM's 6 weeks from now. So taking a lighter week in DL this makes sense for planning purposes. I was going to do 315 as a top set but the platform I was using was extremely uneven and it didn't settle as the sets went on. I didn't want to deal with moving 275 to another platform just for one more top set so just bagged it.
