Results
Squat

1st-375-good lift, light and fast
2nd-420-good lift, way too deep. still fast
3rd-455-good lift, 30lb PR all time. though not at my strongest, still think i had more when i was still squatting lowbar.

Bench

1st-320-good lift, light and fast
2nd-350-good lift, still fast
3rd-375-good lift, slow, bit of a grind but at no point was i concerned about missing this.

Deadlift-hasn’t been feeling great, almost like i have a small strain in right glute-ham tie-in

1st-455-good lift, very easy
2nd-500-good lift, still not bad
3rd-N/A called it there, not worth risking injury since i’m normally about 100lbs ahead of the squat at a given time.
assuming 555 max.
