Thanks for the advice Dave! That was very in depth. I really appreciate it!
I'll start implementing some of your suggestions in my next training session. I already lowered the amount of warmup like you said and I'll stick to the flat work sets throughout my novice phase. I'll check out the practical programming for some modifications. Rugby's starting up soon and I doubt I'll be able to keep up the same pace.

3x5x255 lb I'm calling this a PR, since the last time I was at this weight, I wasn't making depth.

First set felt pretty easy. Second was really hard. After the third set a helpful gym-goer told me that I wasn't moving my head out of the way and the bar was moving forward. Tried fixing it, but I think I gassed myself out by lifting too far away from me. I'll try fixing it next time around.

Practicing form. Kept the volume down and reset every rep to get the setup down pat. There was one time I setup too far forward and the bar swung out. I had to jump forward to get under it.
