Notes - A massive improvement today on the DL.  Pulled the set of 5 at 385 very fast and strong.  I think I have made some improvements over the week. I mean last week 365 coming off the floor felt horrific.  Assuming next week is going well, I will move to 395 for a set of 5.  Hoping to keep improving here.  Squat, strong set of 5 at 435, nearing my previous PR of 440. It definitely was heavy, but a good set.  PR on the OHP for a set of 5 at 175.  It was 170 last OHP ID day, 2 weeks ago.  I decided to go up 5 pounds, not 2.5.  Good decision, it was a hard set, but not at failure.  I think I may do the same thing for ID day on bench, go up 5 lbs to 275 for one set of 5.
