Solid session.  I dropped the goal weight back on squats after last week, and that meant my 2X5 weight was the same as last week's 2X8.  Everything was smooth

Deadlift is still feeling tough off the floor, but all the reps still moved fast and smooth.

Running the LRB Short-15 as a 2x/wk. routine while I'm rehearsing my new show.  For Squatting and Incline benching, it's set up so that by the end I'm hitting the same weight for the top single that I was using prior to my vacation; 315 and 185 respectively.  For deadlift, I put in the old top single #, 365, as the goal for the cycle.  That will take me to 330X3 as my final lift of the cycle.

This may have been wrong thinking on the squat, as the 265X1 was heavy-ish, and the 235 for 2X8 was gruelling.  But I'm also running on 5 hours of sleep a night with rehearsals and work, and that doesn't help with the higher reps stuff at all.  So I'm going to back that back down and use 315 as my goal weight, which will only have me hitting a single at 295 by the end.

The sets of 295 and 275 on deadlift were all fast.
