An honest workout

3x5 low-bar back squat (10x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185, 2x225) 2x5x250, 1x5x250(dna4-5)
3x5 shoulder press (10x45, 5x65, 5x95) 3x5x105 (1x4x105)
1x5 power clean (10x45, 5x89, 5x133) 1x5x173

Nice quick workout.  First time getting in and out in under an hour while still doing a complete workout in a while.  Squats felt strong initially, but I had increasing difficulty maintaining any sort of back position.  The 4th rep of the 2nd work set was especially atrocious.  I called it after 3 for the last work set, mostly in the interest of avoiding injury.  I'll try 250 again after a solid weekend of rest.

The presses are deloaded to 105 now after failing at 120 for two cycles.  I'm going to try and push through it by adding extra sets at the end of the days workout.  110 next.

I hadn't cleaned in a bit, but they felt ok today.  I missed my first attempt at the 3rd rep, but made all the subsequent ones.  For some reason it just didn't feel like I'd be able to lift it high enough, but somehow managed to get under the bar anyway.
