Got in the second half of my 'A' workout after doing the squat portion following the strength athlete symposium the day before.
This was all fine. Rest intervals were a little chaotic with some gym chatter. No video.

Block 2 (Accumulation). Cycle 5. Day 2 and Chicago Strength Symposium
5.2.
BW - 209
Squat - 240X10 @ 6
High Bar Squat - 240X3, 3, 3 @ ~6
Bench - 162.5X8, 8, 8 @6/7
Deadlift -
250X8, 8 @6.5/7

C.S.S.
BW - 210
Deadlift - 315X2, 2, 2 @7/8
Squat - 260X8, 8, 8 @6
Squats and Bench on Day 5.2 both went really well. Deadlift gassed me out pretty fast, and had to drop 10% for the third set.
Attended the Chicago Strength Symposium at my gym all day on Sunday. A lot of great presenters providing a lot of good info.
Got some DL instruction from Hani Jazayrli and Megan Rori Alter. Hani gave me some advice on mixed-grip placement to keep the bar from rotating away from me on the supinated side, and Rori noticed I had one bloodied shin, and spent some time working with me on set-up before the pull to get my hips and chest in a better starting position. Ended up going much heavier than I have in months, but it was fine. No adductor, quad, or back pain issues.
Then I decided to start my workout. Ended up getting a squat check from Bryce Lewis ("Looks good.") and having a great conversation with him about when to worry about technique and when not to, the value of peaking, and a few other topics. Friendly talk. After squats, I felt a bit "done," and decided to do the rest of the workout on the following day (this evening).
Only get video on the 5.2 session.
