Strong benching! I hear you on being mentally prepared. Any sort of distraction or mental stress can easily throw off a workout.

Nice progress! Have you tried filming yourself on lifts? I have found that although Squats are getting tough, it's completely deceiving because upon watching my video, I am putting up the weight like butter! I find videotaping to be very helpful to ensure proper form and also helping to visualize the progress.
I did the other day but good thinking. I am all about visualization.
Somehow deleted a few posts.

Good week of training. Building confidence, slowly, in my squat. Capping other lifts to prescribed reps. I may drop the hammer on bench on last set every few weeks for a little assessment, but not anymore on deads. I think when i do that my last few reps have poor technique and am rounding back. Very happy with Chin ups, Overhead press are a grind but still moving.
