Keep up the good work!
Summary highlights:
SQ: productive tinkering with setup, speed of descent, 3x5.
P: version 1.5, 3x5
BP: continued good fortune with a normal width grip, especially when I self-cue "chest up", 3x5.
DL: once a week, on days that I don't squat, 1x5.
Pronated lat pulldowns, pull-ups (1x5) and chins (whatever).
Keep up the good work!

BP: 45x5x2, 95x5, 140x1, 155x5x3. Surprisingly easy, given my historical difficulties with an asymmetry to my right. The A7 short continues to help me keep my scaps retracted, as well as a "chest up" self-cue. Maybe it's also the thoracic mobility I learned in PT, that I do after most training.
DL: 135x5, 185x3, 230x2, 275x1, 305x5. Surprisingly easy, given that 305 (or 310?) is my 5RM PR. I found loosening my belt one notch for my workset helps me breathe better, and not gas out.
Pullups: BWx5
I'm a big A7 honk. Love their stuff...
Thank you, sir! By the way, I got a reprieve from driving into Atlanta for my appointment with Emory. They changed it from 11/23 (televisit) to brick-and-mortar visit, to 11/15 televisit. Wish you and yours had some easier way to Piedmont than driving in (and waiting in the parking lot).

Atlanta Barbell
SQ: 45x5, 100x5, 150x3, 200x1, 220x5x3. Got rattled during my warmup by a combination of low blood sugar and being easily offended, but some extra rest, Gatorade, and Smarties made the worksets better.
