2013-12-06 Push Press, Deadlift, Squat

Warmup

Push Press -
45x5
55x5
65x5
75x5
85x4
95x3
105x2
115x1
130x5x3
I'm really starting to get sloppy now. I know how to solve the two biggest problems, though:
"Front" groove - consciously push back rather than up, and externally rotate on the way up
Lumbar extension - squeeze glutes hard and reset back between reps
Strict Press starting Monday.

Deadlift -
135x5
155x5
175x5
195x5
215x3
235x1
260x5x3
Chris took video of the last set, but it was too dark to see anything. I'll try using mine next time.
I did a better job pulling harder on these, almost treating them like speed pulls. My grip still gives out if I do reps continuously, but I've got various ways around that.

Squat -
135x4
155x3
175x2
195x1
220x5x3
This was surprisingly easy given the last few days, and I did the last set Starret style instead of ChuanFu with no difficulty. That said, I did have issues keeping my torso vertical; I'm going to get video and focus more on driving my head back.

Pull-Ups:
3x10
Questionable rest. I'll get stricter on this next week.
