Met up with a friend for dinner so did this session in the afternoon and had to make it quick. Suited squats were at parallel, so I need to have a bit more convincing depth.
I think I have had a slight epiphany with the DL. Its been a weak lift for a while now (somewhat due to some lower back issues) and recently I have been trying to tweak my form. The two things I am working on are: 1) Pre-loading my hamstrings prior to initiating the pull, and 2) near lockout pushing my hips towards the bar instead of the bar to my hips. As shown below, following my attempts at 485 I went to 515 and was hoping for a near max single. But finally the pre-loading clicked and it made 515 easier than the 485 - a PR.
