Notes - All in all a great training session and I am headed back in the right direction.  I used elbow sleeves from SBD that arrived this week for the first time, and they definitely helped me.  Particularly allowed me to get under the bar a little better for the squat.  I dropped the weight down to 440, triples felt fine, I am not sure about sets of 5 yet (elbow barks) but hoping I can do 405 for 5 x 5 on Monday.  OHP was a PR for triples at 190 and was strong.  DL was a breakthrough, this was a major PR for me and the bar moved really well.  The squatting is fatiguing my low back by the time I try and do heavy DL on Fridays.  I felt that a lot of fatigue had dissipated and this was the first time I can remember feeling fresh for a heavy DL attempt, and it showed.  Super exciting.  Finished with 5 singles at 310 on the bench, a PR, I am very close now to 3 plates, though I will say these were challenging.
