Seated press
45 x 10 - a little lumbar bitchiness
45 x 5
62.5 x 3
85 x 2
95 x 2
106.25 x 4 - stalled hard on fifth rep
96.25 x 5 - bad liftoff, reset and retried
96.25 x 5 - Easy
Notes
I don't know what the hell that was. On the fifth top set rep it stalled, I started grinding it up, and somehow ended up on my feet too far forward under it in a half-squat before lowering it behind my neck and setting it on the hooks. My written notes have it as WHAT THE FUCK and rightfully so.
Sleeping has been bad of late, so I'll blame it on that.

Deadlift
125 x 2 x 5
190 x 3
250 x 2
285 x 1, 2 - Took me ten minutes to figure out straps.
315 x 5 - New PR
Notes
Strapped in and got it. As soon as the first rep left the platform I didn't have any doubt I had all five. The straps are made from an old (1990's era?) Chevy pickup and rubber bands to hold them into my wrists. It's going to take some time to get the hang of getting them around the bar quickly.

Squat
45 x 10
115 x 5 - fourth rep forward of midfoot; get into hips more
170 x 3 - felt really good
230 x 2 - Ok, depth? GET INTO HIPS
255 x 2 - slow but solid form
285 x 5 - three through five grinded, all good depth!
260 x 5 - grinders all
260 x 5 - forward on rep four, pancaked five
Notes
It just keeps getting heavier, but I made it through. I had serious doubts about four and five coming out of the hole, and they felt like they took forever from below parallel to the lockout.

Bench press
45 x 10 - wrong spto touch on the chest for most reps - too far down the sternum
72.5 x 5
110 x 3 - Lock arms for rerack!
145 x 2
162.5 x 2 - Heavy and unsteady
180 x 5 - rep four very sloppy, left arm locked out much slower
180 x 5 - Better, focus on elbows in
180 x 4 - fifth rep was far off line, dropped to safeties
Notes
Bad sleep but a decent session. The last rep was just all over the place and demonstrates why you never bench alone without using safeties.

Deadlift
130 x 2 x 5
190 x 3 - Drag up shins
255 x 2 - CHEST UP
290 x 2
320 x 4 - Rushed the setup on the fifth rep and failed
Notes
Just like it says, rushed the setup, felt the lumbar flex a little on the last rep and let it go.
I was having issues even in the warm-ups with pulling all the slack out; while I can get away with it on lighter warm ups, that's a bad habit that's gotta go.

Squat
45 x 10
115 x 5 - first rep forward of midfoot
175 x 3 - felt very controlled
230 x 2
260 x 2 - controlled well!
290 x 3 - NOPE
260 x 5 - 5 grind & depth
260 x 5 - best of the sets
Notes
Five reps? Nope, wasn't going to happen. Got three with pretty good form.
It might be approaching a switch to intermediate on squats.

Seated press
45 x 10
45 x 5 - widened grip 3/4 inch each side
62.5 x 3
85 x 2
95 x 2 - DO NOT FLARE ELBOWS
106.25 x 5 - snapped right up!
96.25 x 5 - bit of elbow flare
96.25 x 5 - Better that set two
Notes
Widening the grip might be the key for my stalled press. There wasn't the usual strain on the fifth rep and all of them were smooth and decent. If I focus on keeping my upper back fixed the bar just flies upward.

Deadlift
130 x 2 x 5
190 x 3
255 x 2
290 x 2 - grip pretty good
320 x 2 - Nothing in the tank
Notes
The first rep left the platform and it just fell apart. Felt my lower back release on the second rep and the third just wasn't moving.
If I don't get it next time it's time to deload and change programming from deadlifting every five days.

Squat
45 x 10 - first five paused
115 x 5
175 x 3 - Heavy??!
230 x 2 - Better, some right hip pain after racking
260 x 2 - No more pain, slow.
290 x 5 - Shallow on three and five, sloppy on four and five
265 x 5 - Whole set a grind
265 x 5 - back into hips more, felt better and less grinding
Notes
Well. For a session I went into with "I so do not want to do this" it came away pretty well with a new PR again. I really have to remember to get into my hips more to ensure depth and that drive out of the hole.
Only ten more pounds to 1x5 BW squats again at my manly two hundred pounds bodyweight.
