Notes - Well this was truly a mixed bag.  Squatting - felt ok.  Bench - best day ever, a PR, I have never even held this weight in my hands on bench and I did 5 sets of 3, and was not even close to failing on the last rep. That was fantastic.  The push work going to sets of 3 is working for me, I have been able to keep intensity going up.  Deadlift, got to 365 for the last warm up, using a new 3 inch belt, it felt heavy.  Could not pull 395 off the floor despite 3 attempts.  I went into it uneasy, not confident, like I knew there was going to be an issue.  I backed off for one set of 5 at 365 which was unusually hard.  I probably have a multi pronged issue - recovery, programming, technique.  I am not quite sure where to go from here on the DL and need to step back and think about it.  It is dissapointing.
