Notes -  Decent training session.  Still not getting as deep as I want on squats, but still moving in the right direction.  I will keep working hard on it.  The bench was a highlight as I got all 3 sets of 5 with 260lbs, so the reset has worked as I had stalled out on that weight weeks ago pretty bad.  My upper body is getting stronger.  The OHP and bench are working in concert, so this has been really good.  Lower body, not so great obviously.  The DLs were ok. I decided to back off just a bit to 365.  That was a good decision because it felt heavy.  I think I need to DL more often and I have to get better at going quicker and being able to set my back better for each rep.  I think I need a light DL day each week, instead of powercleaning or chins.  Programming this is a bit challenging.  Probably just need to stick it on Fridays.
