Squats
transitioning to low bar position
worked up to 255
felt okay, better than high bar

Press
100 5/5/4
I'll still move up, i didn't get a lot of rest between sets

Chinups
9/5

some other stuff not worth recording

Still working on squat form/flexibility. Was able to get below parallel, but I can't keep my back very tight doing it

Bench
145 5/5/4

Deadlift
285 5

Finally able to get some squats below parallel w/ arched back!

From now on I think I'll be sticking with the high bar position and more upright torso - just much easier for me to get down

squat
225 5/5/5
unfortunately its very tempting to use the low back out of the hole. It'll take some effort not to cheat

Press
100 5/5/3
Felt really heavy. Probably do a reset

Hang cleans - it hasn't felt right not doing any cleans the last while
95 5/5/5

Neutral grip chins (shoulder width)
5/5/5
different handle than usual, just wanted to switch it up

not a bad workout, but I felt sluggish, mostly lack of sleep, stress, poor diet
