Notes - I mean its definitely exciting to hit another PR in the squat and bench. This has been a great run.  I am doing a lot of things pretty well in the squat.  I just need to get that extra bit of depth, get the big breath and the confidence to go deeper.  But this was productive today.  Bench, never handled this weight, another PR. No triples, and that's a sign this is running out soon. But got 4 sets of doubles, 7 singles, they were all good reps.  I am going to keep running this until I fail on a rep, otherwise if I can get 15 singles at keep putting 2.5 lbs on the bar, I am going to keep going and run this dry.  I'm 30 lbs away from a 315 bench.  That's going to take some real time and effort.  If I got this in one month that would be lucky.  I won't, due to vacation in Priest Lake in August, but I can run this up for two more weeks and hopefully get it up above 290lbs.  Accessory chins and dips were very difficult today.  Out of steam here at the end of the week, I have moved some good poundage this week.
