Very nice session. Squats felt good. Bench was no issue. The PC's were smooth, didn't miss a rack - never bumped the sternum. I'm entering uncharted territory on the sets of five for the Squats, and I don't feel like I'm close the missing a rep at the moment.

Deadlift - 135lbs 2x5, 230lbs x3, 320lbs x1, 350lbs x1 (doh)
370lbs x5 (s/g)

Today's VD is a day early, as I'm playing in the City Platform Tennis Tourny tomorrow. Everything felt good, though the 5th reps in the last two Squat sets got a little slow. Press was no problem. Deadlift was fine as well.

Oye, not a good day on the courts. Went 0 for 3, D.I.D. N.O.T. W.I.N. A. S.E.T....

Wish I could blame it on volume day, but the truth is my play was atrocious and my partner weren't that much better.

So endeth the 2015 - 2016 season.

Squats are, and will continue to be, rep PR's from here on out. Definitely slower but not grindy. Press was no real issue. Getting close to rep PR's here as well. PC's were OK. Bounced the last rep of the last set off the sternum. I keep re-learning that these really require a commitment to the pull above the knees.

Another Volume Day a day early. I'm getting the yard in shape over the weekend as a Mother's Day gift for the bride and it's gonna be a big job.

Squats were solid. I pushed the Bench up 5lbs as I'm behind my ID numbers, no issues. Deadlift was OK, hook gripped everything through 315...definitely need to toughen things up as 315 was uncomfortable. Once the warm-up was over it took an hour and a half to get this all in.

Squat was hard, the last rep was sticky - that said this was a rep PR. Bench was harder than it should have been, sloppy with the bar path. PC's were the best of the lot, only bumped the sternum once.
