Notes - Keeping with recent trends, a good day pressing (a PR for two triples on the OHP at 202.5, and a PR single on the bench at 317.5) and a shit day with the lower body lifts.  Though my left leg and hip has improved a lot from Monday's issue, it did affect the squat today and I really wasn't able to get deep enough of push out of the hole without feeling it.  So that sucked.  And the DL is kind of a mess now.  I couldn't move 455 off the floor.  Since I started working with the new calibrated iron plates, I think I am not used to how much I need to take slack out of the bar and it's just off.  So back to the drawing board on the DL, after what has been honestly a pretty good run.  It wasn't super hard to get to a 405 DL, it was pretty damn hard to get to 450, and now it appears it will be real hard to get to a 500, which is a big goal.
