Not a bad session despite running out of juice on squats.

327.5X5 is an all-around Squat PR!  First set felt great, ran into some trouble on set 2, and then didn't have anything left on the last set.

137.5X5 is an all-around Press PR!  Approached the bar with aggression and got the sets.  Got a very helpful cue from my coach not to let my chest drop when I receive the bar at the bottom of reps.

Got through the Deadlift plateau from last time.  Felt pretty strong on it.

I've stalled out enough times on Squat that my coach is going to start transitioning me to the Intermediate program, the Texas Method.  I've got some instructions for how to adjust my Squat workouts the rest of the week.  I'm fairly clear on how Squats will be handled going forward, but not sure about the other lifts.
