Notes - A very good day. Squatting is improving each time, slowly.  By the time I got to the work set I was feeling pretty good, and it was a good set of 5 at 435.  Got two singles at 440 on the DL - PR.  Very happy with this.  Last week's triple at 435 was probably "better" than this because these felt like near limit reps, but I kept pulling and once I got to the knee I was really able to lock out very strongly.  Just very hard off the floor.  Finished with 3 singles on the bench at 305, solid reps.
