Looks like a great session. This is getting tougher for me to keep motivated. I did trap Dl yesterday. Today I was at my grandsons house. I did one set of BP 95x5 that was tough for me. That was his 2nd warm up. It good to be 15.

BrooklynJerry: Every set is a good set.
On the other hand, this triggered my overtraining symptoms big time. LOL.
Adapt. Adjust. Overcome.

Starting Strength
I've read and reread this article a few times. Seems to make more sense every time I do.

I see the link didn't work, it was
Maintenance, When to stop trying to train, by
Mark Rippetoe. You probably read it before.

RDL 135x3
Good Morning 45x3
Squat 95x1
Squat 115x3,3,3
Split squat 20 (10 in each hand) x 5,5,5
have my forward foot up on the bench, which is high but I'm really tight I guess.
My range of motion is slowly improving.
I interleave the movements (split squat first).
That is the best I can remember the bottom of a squat feeling.
Taking it slow. No grand claims yet. LOL.
It was wet or I would have taken my sled out.

4/12/2023 Wednesday
RDL 135x3
Good Morning 45x3
Press w/arc 72x5 92x5,5,5
Split squat 17degree wedge elevated 9.75in. 20 pounds 5,5,5 each leg
This appears to be my most glaring weakness, which for me says a lot.
My low back is tight, hip and knee mobility is next to non existent.
This nonsense appears worth a shot. We'll know if it works if my "real" lifts improve.
Oddly my walking is already a bit better.
backwards sled pull 30# for 3 min

How does one do a "backward sled"? With such light weights what advantage do you see in doing them?

Carson:
Rogue Sleds and similar units like you are using have eyelets in the center front and back.
They sell both belts and handles that attach with a typical length being about 6-7'.
I used nylon ropes with 1" pvc (7" wide") as my handles.
I dislike the belt because you want to train your full kinetic chain when possible.
I do mine on the sidewalk using the wooden sled I make.
Mine is 3 2x4's wide, with a plywood deck, 1" black pipe (to stack plates), and some eyelets to attach my handles.
I'd say build the thing around the weight you have on hand. I had 35# plates, so I build around that.
I find the wooden sled easier on the surface and less noisy.
Gyms may have concerns about going backwards for safety or other reasons, so the option is handy to have.
