Notes - Super cool to say I did a squat 5 x 5 with 4 plates - really happy about that.  A gut check.  Followed that up with a 5 x 5 bench at 252.5 where I got all reps.  Really good sign.  Also, DLs were pulled pretty fast and strong.  Overall a great day, will need a lot of recovery time I suspect.
