    Felt good too. The reduction of that one set of squats on Monday's seems to be working great at least these past two weeks.

    Had to go much much later to the gym bc of a big meeting, but the press feeling so hard and my chest "popping" all week makes me think my bench is done progressing on heavy day.

    W9D1 - Monday

    Squat:
    [Warmups]
    45x5x2
    135x5
    225x3
    315x2
    355x1

    385x5x4
    Quite a bit of low back pain by set 4. Coach saw every set so we know the form was spot-on except in two reps out of the whole 20. Might need a deload week soon if i can't figure it out. Lots of rest after and two ibuprofen did have me feeling a lot better.

    Bench Press:
    [Warmups]
    45x10
    135x5
    185x2
    [Worksets]
    205x5x4 EZ
    Deloaded the weight for the sets since the heavy day is back to sets of five and it should be offset from the weight that will be done then (255). Added one set so tonnage continues to go up even though the weight per set is lower.

    Speed Deadlifts:
    [Warmups]
    135x2
    225x2
    [Worksets]
    315x1x10 EMOM
    Felt good. A bit of the low back pain came back when i was offloading the bar afterwards, but still an hour later not feeling terrible so fingers crossed it is all good tomorrow still.

    Coach said the best we've done in a while. The reduced intensity (even tho the tonnage is higher) from Monday sure helped.
