Starting strength - Week 1

low-bar back squat (1x5x45, 1x5x65 then 3x5x85)
bench press (1x5x45. 1x5x65 then 3x5x85)
deadlift (1x5x135 then 1x5x155)

3x5 pullups

Oops, brain was still dormant and I forgot to increase the squat weight to 95 - will go up to 95 next time, no rush to push it. DLs felt good if a tad heavy, bench was smooth.

I'm noticing difficulty getting much beyond parallel even at these low weights, which might be a hip mobility issue (perhaps related to tight hip flexors from the uptick in running the past year).
