Notes -  Squats felt pretty good through 405.  The top sets weren't great.  I can tell you that damn bar felt heavy on my back today, heavier than I wanted it too. Although bar placement is a little better, I am having trouble getting tight under the bar.  Frustrating.  Probably time to drop the weight, maybe I can hang out around 385 or 390 for sets of 5 and get this back going again. The DL was a highlight, a great top set for a triple at 435, the bar moved well, another PR here.  It's exciting at least that this lift is going well.  First time I think ever since learning this lift that have a little bit of confidence and am not over thinking the pull.  Good stuff.  More prowler work to finish today, I worked that in this week since I dropped the pressing movements.  My issues with the elbows are undoubtedly from squatting, and I will just have to work through this damn thing. I'm going to work some pressing back in next week.
