Notes - Great training session all around.  Squat reps were good.  It's certainly getting challenging, but going through this around of NLP, I am getting deeper and have made several technique improvements with the elbows, bar placement, locking knees out at the top of each rep, pushing the knees out, etc. as compared to when I got to 375 for 3 sets of 5.  So that's extremely encouraging.  Another PR on the OHP.  The decision to go to 5 sets of 3 I believe has been a good one, because I have been able to push the weight up each session.  There were absolutely some hard reps here.  It is getting tough.  Chins have improved.  Getting stronger.  I'm close to being able to add some weight to chins and dips and lowering the reps.
