Again, fourth set was by far the best. Every rep was better than all the others from the other sets. Got out of position on the very last rep, stumbled around for a few seconds, and was too exhausted to hold the weight for another rep.

First rep at 395 felt so easy I almost thought I had mis-loaded the bar.

Last rep of first set was a monstrosity. Ruined me for the rest of the session. Actually I was already feeling tentative because of a pain in the lower left lumbar area. Yuck. Still got a PR, though, so not entirely a negative day.
