Last Squat/Dead day of the cycle.  Went okay.

Top set of squats was smooth, but not fast.  Since I haven't had 265 on my back in almost a year, and never at this depth, I'm really quite satisfied.

Really long pause on the pause squats again.  It makes the reps extra difficult and that much more awesome.

Deadlift was a real mixed bag here.  On one hand 335 was real damn slow, on the other it matches my previous 1 rep PR.  I would say with the extra stress of squatting beforehand should have me calling that progress.  Also the 285 back-off set was solid.  Nevertheless, if I do heavy squats/pulls on the same day again, I will be even more conservative with my DL target.

Oh, and I used a mixed-grip starting at 255 on up, but I switched back to double-overhand for the back-off set.  This was all fine.
