Notes
5 rep pr on bench was the highlight of the day.  I listened to classical music walking to the gym and all the way through my 280 single.  I was incredibly relaxed and had zero expectations going into today.  I will note that yesterday was an absolute disaster squatting.  I felt terrible, and forced heavy sets because I let my ego get in the way of what I know is smart.  Today was a total turn around and I didn't even realize it was happening until it happened.

Even with a nice bench PR, I don't think I'm the strongest I've ever been on bench.  Its kind of more  a technical PR.  I've tended to go for max singles or doubles when I felt good.  Today I decided to stick  to the game plan and keep working with 5s to continue improving the ability to grind.  I feel like I'll peak nicely over the next couple of weeks.

That might be a dip PR.  I'm not sure - I need to start a big spreadsheet tracking everything.
