Hard session.  My mid-back was fried from all the benching and upper back work, and made the late-session squats even more brutal than usual.  

Squats are about to go on the front burner for a few blocks, so maybe having them first in their session for a while will mitigate some of the issues I've been having with the lift.  I also tried to pull back a little and descend a little slower and deeper.  Kind of hoping that going uber-controlled and extra-deep for a while will force me to pull back on the weight and fill in some of the cracks that have been opening up around this lift.  Just doesn't seem productive for it to be as punishing of a lift as it has been the last few blocks.

On Bench, my current best single is 255.  Next week is the last week of this block, and as usual I'll start pulling back on training volume a bit too see if I can reach for some low hanging PRs.  Maybe a new Bench 1RM!
