Wanted to see what my true upper range on Klokov's is, so I did Paul Carter's Strong-15 %'s and worked up to my heaviest possible single, which turned out to be 85.  I'd been projecting in the 90-95 range, but 90 just would not budge off my shoulders.  All good as it lets me know that I'm working in the right range on 531, and not selling myself short.

Came in looking for 6-10 reps on the Deadlift and got 10 which projects the same max as last cycle when I was only getting 1-3 reps on my top sets.  Also a Rep PR.  Another guy watched my top set, and came over and mentioned that it looked like I was losing tightness after the first few reps and that I had motion in my low back during the movement.  I was thankful for the note, and I will be more mindful of keeping a tight arch on the higher rep sets in the future.
