I've passed where I left off on my press (comeback) LP, where I failed to get 115x5x3. This TM stuff seems to work.
LTE:
90x8x3
I was reading the description of LTE's in SS:BBT, and it seems like I've been going too deep, so I tried going only deep enough this time. (Video of the second set.)
OTE:
30x7,6,7
A little bit better than last time, when I did 7,6,6.

If I'd managed 2 on that last set, it would have been a PR.

95x3
115x1
125x1
Work:
135x3 -- 3-rep PR!
135x3+f
Not only a 3-rep PR, but this matches my all-time press PR.
From the video, it looks like I wasn't as tight at the bottom of that failed rep as I would like to have been. At least it stayed close, and I did manage to clear the top of my head, but it just wasn't going any farther.
Bench:
Warmup:

217.5x4+f -- 4-rep PR!
Still running out the LP on bench.
I told myself I wouldn't try for 5, given that I haven't hit 5 reps the last few bench workouts, but the 4th one went up easily enough (for some definition of "easily") that I thought I had it. Nope.
On the bright side, though, I didn't bounce any of the reps off my chest. These were all very light touch-and-go's. The first time I went through these weights, I wasn't staying as tight on the descent. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Dips:
2x8, 1x10
Working my way up to 3x10.

Light squats:
Warmup:
45x15

Work:
240x3x5
Did these quickly, on 2 minutes rest.

Warmup:
135x5
225x3
295x1
335x1
Work:
365x1
365x1
365x1
I was a bit worried about these, 'cause 335 felt heavy. The third one went slowly over the knee after leaving the ground quickly, but it went up.
SLDL:
205x8x2
My hamstrings were a little bit tender for a couple of days after these last week. Not exactly sore, but enough to make me glad that I started out light on these.
Shrugs:
225x20x3
My upper back always feels really tired after working out on Thursdays. I just can't figure out why.
Rower:
3 minute warmup
6 x :20/1:40

220x4 -- 4-rep PR!
And the PR train keeps rolling. I didn't shoot for 5 on the last set, given that I've failed the last few times.
I stayed tight on the descent of most of these reps, but there were a couple where I lost tightness right at the bottom and had a small bounce off the chest.

An object lesson that form matters. I had trouble on reps 4 and 5 of the first set. From the video, I could tell that I wasn't keeping my elbows in front of the bar. Focused on that for the second set, and all 5 shot up.
LTE:
95x8x3
OTE:
30x7,6,6
A slight regression from last week, where I got 7,6,7.
