Squat - 220x2x5

Bench Press - 190x2x4, 190x3

Barbell Row - 185x3x8 (very tough), last set used a little too much lower back, resulting in a significant pump.

Squat 295x5 belted

Press 130x2, 135x2, 140x2 PP woooooo PR's galore

Deadlift 315x5 belted, light day, low back felt off prior to the work set so I took it easy

Today I didn't eat enough (read: nothing between 11 am and 4 pm) so it definitely showed. My belt even required to be 1 notch tighter than usual.

Squat - 275x5, 275x3 + 2 (added belt), 275x5 belted, 275x3 + 2 belted, 275x5

Bench Press - 190x3x4. Had to grind the last rep on set 3. Switching to TM programming on this next week.

Deadlift - 350x5 belted - more PR!

My bench press is frustrating me. I either need to do more weighted dips, change programming, get my form examined, or some combination of all three. It's likely the last item.
