Notes - An excellent squat session, still making progress, technique changes are taking hold in terms of getting tighter under the bar, tighter with elbows and erectors, controlling the bar much better, helping me get deeper too.  Better breathing at the top of each rep as well.  The bench sucked today, I had not benched for 12 days and it showed.  I've lost some upper body strength due to having the baby, it is showing up more so than in squats and deadlifts.  It may be time to go to 5 sets of 3 on both presses and see if that moves things.
