Notes - A shit day. My left piriformis and SI were acting up on squats, a little out of the blue.  I had by acupuncturist release the piriformis later in the day, which was good.  Things just jammed up.  The bench sucked.  The squats really took it out of me, and I was rushing to get the bench sets done and not taking enough rests in between sets.  It was frustrating all around, and this after taking a step back to try and get more 5s.  I'm so irritated with this I will probably repeat this weight next week for bench and see if I can do a whole lot better.  The DL set of 5 with 340 felt good, so that's ok.
