Notes - Things are going well. These reps at 275 on the squat are better and faster than my first time around.  I am encouraged.  I still think I probably need to get just a little bit deeper.  I am getting more confidence now coming out from the injury in early December and think I am improving each session.  The OHP was another PR and it was cool to do the work sets with effectively 45s on the bar.  I will say the 5th rep on each of the last two sets was tough.  Not an all-out grind, but still pretty tough.  I do like this lift.  The DL was just ok again.  I am not sure about the belt on these.  It's pretty damn uncomfortable.  Not an issue on squats or the press.  It's a 4-inch belt, so it's thick.  I'll keep playing around with it.  I have tried to wear it much higher on the DL - first rep great, after that it starts to dig.  It's possible it may make more sense for me to wear it on really heavy singles and doubles. In any event I will keep playing around with it.  Only use it for work sets and keep working up without the belt on.
