PR Squat, PR Deadlift (single) the top and drop squats were a dream, I clicked through the backoffs on 2mins rest feeling very accomplished (thanks Geoff). Looking forward to attempting 145kg on Tuesday. However, Squat and Deadlift have crept very close together... I think it's the ten years of fencing making my legs stronger than my back, but I still want to build the deadlift some.
Going fencing this week and wanted to get a warning how unfit I am... HR got up to 170+ on a short run (walked every 5th minute), not good. After the run I noticed an empty bench and decided I wanted redemption for recent cockups... equalled my all time PR :) That's PRs across all the lifts now
Tweaked my back a bit on Sat/Sun (I think max deadlift followed by running) so Power Cleans were a little lighter than usual today. Will monitor as the week goes on...

- High Bar Squat: 4x5@110kg (242lb)
- Press: 5x1@63.5kg (139lb)
- Bench Press: 2x3@81kg (178lb)
- Deadlift: 1x5@150kg (330lb)
Good session. Deadlift in particular was a nice win.
Squat was a trainwreck - one rep into my planned 5RM I knew if I went down again I wasn't coming up. Even 130 felt like lead. However, deadlift went great, even the 350lb single which is a number I have had in my head for a while.
Had to do haltings instead of cleans due to time constraints. Squats, I have dialled the weight back a bit to try and manage fatigue through a tough time at work.
High Bar Squat felt good today, some nice touches at very manageable workload. PRs in both Press and Bench Press, followed by a close but not quite deadlift... will get it next time.
