Notes - I'd call this a success.  The light squats felt good, and I was able to get deeper.  I got an all-time PR on the bench, 3 by 5 with 245, never even benched that weight once in my life before when I used to bench.  I can definitely keep going.  This is great, and it feels good, not causing me issues. On the DL, the first 3 reps were good, 4th rep I didn't stay tight enough, but still pulled it, 5th rep was tough, probably a 95% or close to 100% effort, but the bar didn't stop moving, and I pulled it.  Next week it's going to be just a 5 lbs addition, I might be reaching the end of LP here on the DL.  I have a feeling there are obvious technique improvements to make where I could get tighter and make this easier, and I need some coaching.  But all in all, this was good.
