Doing a little testing week before I inject a little more structure into my programming (fingers crossed).

I'd predicted I'd added ~1 rep to my chins in the last 8 weeks.  I was doing sets of 2 @8 then so this is about where I thought I'd be.  A lot of work to add 1-2 reps [shrugs].

Haven't done comp Squats since late February.  Haven't squatted 345 since early August.  Ability to maintain upper back position felt very strong.  Tempted to credit all the upper-back work with that.  Still tend to get on my toes to much in general.  Weight feels VERY heavy on walk-out but legs feel strong on the actual lift.

Haven't done comp Press since mid-January.  Haven't put up 145 since late May.  No major technical issues  that I could feel.

What does all of that suggest?

1)    It take a lot of work to add a little to my chins.  Per week, I was doing ~9 sets of chin variations, another ~9 sets of general upper-back work, and ~3 sets of Curls.

2)  I can maintain or maybe slightly improve Squats without a ton of specificity.

3)  I can possibly improve my Press without a ton of specificity.

Looking forward to seeing how my other main lifts test out the rest of the week.
