Notes -  Started out rough today.  My left hip did not like swinging the KB - at all.  It's super tight and just overworked - hip flexor.  Squatting, even light, was an absolute bitch, though when looking at the video, I did a decent job getting to depth anyway and working through it.  The bar felt heavy too, like not fully recovered from squats on Monday.  Benching was good. I got all of the reps at 255.  Last rep on the last set was tough, but got through the sticking point and a strong lockout.  I will take it.  Deadlifting was good.  The bar felt heavy at 365, no doubt, but as planned I went for a top set of 5 at 385, pulled all the reps.  Felt good to get through the sticking point below the knee and then know I was going to lock them all out.  Happy about it.  I also then went to my bodyworker / acupunturist in the afternoon and he worked on m left hip, got it to relax a bit, so really hoping that helps.
