Day went pretty well.  Squats are still very strong and smooth at this weight.  Just heavy enough that I have to take it seriously and make sure my form is good throughout.

Press was a bit more challenging than I expected.  Half-way through it got be that the first rep or two would be excellent, but I was having to fight a bit on the last reps.

Got that damn 5th rep @ 330 on Deads.  I made a bit of a mental adjustment here.  Rather than go into the reps looking for speed off the ground, my  mantra was, "It will be slow.  Keep the bar against your legs, chest up, and don't stop pulling."  This set was very hard, but that got me through it.
