Recovery:
Squat: 230x5x2
Press: 135x5x3
Deadlift: 365x5, 415x1

The presses were nice and easy. No grind at all really.
415 went up smooth as butter. I'm embarrassed to admit that I just figured out how to explode out of the bottom on deadlift the way doing power cleans are supposed to help with
Body weight is up 3 lbs or so

Pull-Up: (+25)x5x3
Dip: (+45)x10

Squats felt really heavy tonight. I wasn't totally mentally present tonight though. I got it done either way.

Bench felt good. As long as my presses keep going up every week, I am going to stick with the Bench prioritization. I would like to try a power lifting competition at some point anyway.

Recovery:
Squat: 235x5x2
Press: 140x5, 140x4x2
Deadlift: 370x5

This was really a crummy workout. I didn't feel great going into it. Normally I snap out of it after my squats are finished, but my presses felt like garbage. I'm going to chalk this one up to a bad day, and try for 140 again next week. 370 felt pretty okay though, it was more mental effort than physical on deads today.

I've gained about 5 lbs since starting TM. I was originally thinking about weighing 170-175, now I'm thinking 180. I'm still pretty lean at 163-164ish (visible "abz" if I flex really hard. The gold standard)

Intensity:
Squat: 325x5
Bench: 230x5, 255x1
Clean: 150x3x5

My cleans suck. Squats felt good. Bench felt good. Surprised myself with the 255 single. Wasn't that hard really. Toughest thing tonight were the damn cleans.
