Notes - A good squat day.  Form continues to improve, getting the ass back, pushing the knees out, I am getting better depth and today felt really strong.  Felt it more in my glutes and hamstrings, not in the hip flexors, really encouraging.  Bench, meh day, I did yard work all day yesterday with my hands and arms, and combined with the heavy squats, I didn't have it in the bench today, failed on the 5th rep of the first set.  I may be hitting at wall at 260 for sets of 5 across.  I need to read the Blue Book and figure out what I really should be going next.  I dropped down to 250 and did two sets of 5.   Chins and dips felt very good.
