wow, that first rep was a struggle right below the knee, then that second just FLEW up! good stuff

Press:
137.5x4+f +1
137.5x3
That was a weird failure. The left side of my body did fine, but the right side just didn't want to cooperate. I rested for a long 20-count after my failure before getting the extra rep.
Then I was angry with myself for not getting the fifth rep and did a set of 3 after a short rest.
Bench press:
217.5x5
217.5x5
217.5x5
217.5x5
217.5x5
A PR of sorts. When I was doing this TM-style programming a year ago, 215 was the best I got for 5x5.
Dips:
6-minute EMOM
6x5
Good work. That deadlift sticking just below the knee, I watched it several times and can't really figure what was different. it looks like you drifted forward a bit but that might be a result of sticking, not the cause. Did it feel different?
Bench press:
240x3+f
240x2+f
Not a good day here. I was hoping for 240x5. After the failure, I tried for 2x3, but I probably didn't give myself enough rest.
This was a crappy week for both bench and press. I may give this week another shot next week.
Press:
125x5
125x5
125x5
125x5
125x5
At least I got all my sets here.
Dips:
3xAMRAP: 12/13/10
Life intervened yesterday, so I did last night's workout this morning.
Squats:
260x3x5
2 minutes rest, beltless.
Deadlifts:
365x5
315x5
315x5
The plan was to go for 400x5, but my last warmup single at 365 was much harder than it should have been, so I lowered my expectations. Of course, my first work rep at 365 felt lighter than I expected, but I still don't think I had 400x5 in me. I'll try for 400 next week.
