Notes -  Overall a good training day.  I was pleased with the bench, it was strong, I nearly got the 5x5, just one rep shy.  Can keep moving up in weight.  Squats were good, depth was good, took a long time to warm up though.  Chins were pretty weak, I think I need more volume to drive change here.  I like the barbell curls to finish.
