First session of the TM.  Volume day with slightly shorter rests (3-4 min.).

All the Squat worksets were fast and easy.

Bench is still a bit more technical/less intuitive for me, but these were still fairly smooth.

....and once again I bounced off of a Deadlift.  The strength was there for the last rep, but I felt my hips trying to curve "under" the bar just past my knees, and I'm so paranoid about aggravating my back issues that I set it back down.  Disappointing.
