Notes - I was pleased with this overall effort.  The squats were hard, just had a few issues with my feet during walk outs, and had the bar just a bit too low on a couple of sets.  Important to really dial in on the bar placement as it makes such a massive difference in how the sets go.  But all in all was getting pretty deep on these.  The OHP was very good, I was pleased to get 3 sets of 5 before starting to really have to grind reps.  A good DL set at 350 to finish, pulled it pretty fast.
