Notes: Things didn’t go exactly as I’d hoped today. Bodyweight was pretty much on target, and I even had some ice cream last night to make sure I wasn’t too light. 
Squats were done for the second time with a blanket in front of the mirror. At 80%, I lost my balance a little on one of the reps and it wasn’t too smooth. When I worked up to 370, the depth was probably borderline and possibly questionable. If anyone wants to chime in, that’d be great.
Bench press went beautifully up until my 95% set. I think I was being lazy with my lats and I flared the hell out of the bar, started pressing unevenly and made the lift slowly and ugly. My left shoulder almost gave out, it was very strange and I’m not exactly sure why it happened.
Deadlifts felt fine, and I’m definitely using my legs more at the start which is good.
I might have to take these down 5-10lbs for my openers (at least on squat and bench) just to be safe. These weren’t as fast as my 95% during the last cycle, but I had also just gone through 8 weeks of Sheiko instead of 4, so it’s understandable.
