Notes - All in all a good session.  The QL thing is still going on, certainly felt it on some squats, mainly when I got a little forward with the bar coming out of the hole.  When I stayed midfoot and drove up with the hips, things were good.  Something to focus on as this is bringing technique strongly into focus.  Have to get the butt back, stay midfoot, and drive the hips up. Bench was very good, some PR here with a strong effort here at 272.5.  DLs were goods, went a bit heavier at 345 which was a good se.
