That was a nice squat from Wednesday Jason.

Thanks Fuller! I need to find a better knee wrap technique though. I also didn't like the way the knees came forward a bit. The rest felt ok though. The breathing change is helping. Taking a huge breath before going down and holding it through.

The deadlift tech changed helped get over the 485 hump on the deficits. Still nervous if it'll hold up when pulling from the ground. Had a fun day today just watching the RUM. Had to catch the lightweights on my phone or else I wouldn't have had time to lift.

395 went up fairly easy. Had a slight snag near lockout. 405 shouldn't have been an issue but had some issues with the unrack. Felt good for feeling sore. Don't feel like I've peaked yet which is good.
