Squats were hard and didn't feel as good as last time. Sloppy descent or something, and leg pressed a couple. Kept knees out, though, I think. Didn't struggle too mightily. I think I still got a ways to go linearly. 315 by the end of the year sounds like a good goal.
Bench went well. I switched the form slightly. I realized I wasn't really getting my leg drive previously with the Tate arched setup. I was tight, but I was having a hard time actively pushing into the floor. I went with a flat foot, shins slightly past orthogonal, and I really pushed into the floor while doing my best to keep my upper back tight. Got everything up relatively easy. Final rep final set was fairly slow and took a lot of work, that's about it. So hopefully I can actually hit 3x5x160 in the first try next time.
Power cleans were OK.
Finished up the workout with:
Chins: 5 jumping singles. Supinated grip under a load bothers my wrists some. I got like super calcified growths on my wrist bump thingy, and I think it messes with some tendons or ligaments or whatever.
Pull-throughs: 8x70, 8x80
