150X2 is an all-around PR on Press.  Tried for 3 but failed.  I'll give it one more shot next week and either reset or proceed with doubles.  135X7 ties a Rep PR (forgot to take video).  Original programming was to do a back-off set of 5, and then a 2nd, AMRAP set with the same weight.  I've been doing that on Squat and Press, but it hasn't quite sat right with me.  I think I'm going to work on these ladder-down sets instead.  90%XAMRAP, and then 80%X5.  When 90% is < 6 reps, I will switch the AMRAP to the 80% set.

380X3 is a Rep PR on Deadlift.  All reps felt heavy but do-able.  With focus and intent, this was not more than RPE 9.  I realized later that the back-off set of 340X3 is awesome because I switched from one set of 5, to a set of 3 and a back-off set of 3 back when I was on 325.  Having my back-off sets be almost 20 lbs. over 325 is pretty cool.

253 (BW+25)X11 and 228 (BW)X20 are both Rep PRs on Dips.  That 20 rep set was brutal.  Might need to start taking video of these to keep me honest.

243 (BW+15)X4 is a Rep PR on Chins.  Video is of the 1st set and the AMRAP set.  These are okay.
