Notes - All pretty good today.  I should have pushed the weight up on powercleans.  That lift is not really moving up, though I did have more power today with it. Bench going up, it's not hard at all.  Left elbow doesn't like it though.  I need to find the best groove and where to move the elbows.

Notes - A good squat and deadlift day. Another squat PR, definitely challenging, but I have been able to push past the 325 lb barrier where I had the failed rep in early December that sent me down a tough road for some time.  That's exciting.  355 on the DL is not a PR, but getting close.  It was challenging, but not a concern I wouldn't get the reps.  It is difficult to do after really heavy squatting.  I wanted to do it before pressing just so I wasn't really fatigued, but I think next time I will press between the squat and DL.  Will give the lower back 10-15 minutes of rest, I think that's a better idea.
