Notes - A strong day today.  Top set on squats at 445 was ok, the first 3 reps were good, I didn't like the depth on 4 and 5.  Still dealing with the left elbow and it's challenging to keep that bar in place.  I will keep working at it.  To get a top set of 5 in the circumstances was good enough.  Things got better from there.  Bench was solid, PR triples at 287.5, which is good. Perhaps I can keep running this up and get triples at 300, which would be awesome.  DL, best DL session every so that's the highlight for the day.  Never DL's 425, I got it for a triple.  That's great and I am so glad I have been able to get this lift moving again.  Finished with 5 singles on OHP at 207.5, a PR, these were pretty hard, and it's only going to get more difficult, but bar didn't slow down on the reps.  Overall, very good. Time to rest.
