Bench press 167.5 x 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2 (22 reps total)
Chins (purple band): 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1 (24 reps total)
Just felt weak throughout; rep counts are a lot lower than the last bench density day.

Squat: 225 x 4 x 6
Seated OHP: 100 x 4 x 6
Deadlift: 225 x 2 x 5
Set one of squats had a shitton of popping sounds coming from both knees - no pain, but unusual. Second set was the best of them as everything remained tight and kept in place.
SOHP snapped up like a dream except when I brought the bar down on my nose on the last rep of set one. Ow.
Deads I finally have dialed in.
I re-played medium day from last week due to the back tweak on all the same weights, but no pain or tightness at all.

Bench press was hard; a had a lot of foot slip issues due to a wet basement. A few reps barely made it onto the pins.
Chins went well.
Squat 267.5 x 3, 245 x 3 x 3
Seated OHP 121.25 x 3, 112.5 x 3 x 3
Deadlift 270 x 4
First set of squats was hard as fuck, with the third rep a real grinder I didn't think I had, but depth felt good and up it went.
SOHP flew up, no issues at all.
On the 4th rep of deadlifts it felt a little sloppy in my lower back. No way I was getting #5.
Still, new PRs for squat and SOHP.
Squat 205 x 2 x 6
Bench 160 x 4 x 6
Deadlift 235 x 4
Squats should have been 227.5 but my lower right back has been acting up for the last two days; I unracked the 227.5 and it was obvious that wasn't happening. Two sets was all I had before it got bad enough to call it.
Bench went swimmingly. There were little bar path issues on set three and four, but nothing excessive.
I went for the deads at the full working weight for the session; all belted up it went okay and decided to not push my luck with 2 x 5 sets.

Who needs to learn how to read? I do. SOHP was supposed to be 106.25, not 107.5. It was just hard as hell.
Chins are on a yellow assist band, which is 2-15 lbs assist. Was harder as expected, but not brutal.
Soon I'll be a real boy and do them all by myself for density day.
Squat 270 x 3, 250 x 3 x 3
Bench 190 x 3, 170 x 3 x 3
Deadlift 270 x 0
Squat backoff sets had issues. Set two and three, both on the second rep, definitely didn't make depth. Set three rep two also lost hip drive and leaned way forward.
Bench snapped right up; backoff sets were 5lbs lighter than they should have, but fuck it.
Deadlifts. Fuck you, deadlifts. Tried shoeless, drive through heels, got cramps in the balls of both feet, and couldn't get the bar to move more than an inch. Bailed after two attempts.

Thought I'd test the hypothesis of being too spent after ID squats. Where I couldn't rip it from the platform before I easily got five solid reps.
Paused squats 135lbs x 10, 185lbs x 5
Work is boning up my schedule and its denying me enough time to lift and get good sleep. Rather than do nothing I'm declaring it a "fuckaround week" when I do things I don't usually do.
Paused squats are different; I held about a second in the hole each time. It definitely reinforces good form.
