Probably should go for more incremental PRs

Squat
295 x 1
315 x f
205 x 8 x 2
Knees came in badly, but 295 feels easy as shit.

225 x 3 x 4

Zercher/front squat
135 x 5 x 4

Bench
195 x 1
205 x 1 (PR)
215 x f
Probably too big of a jump, but 5 lb PR still.

Block press (approximately equivalent to 2 board)
185 x 5
195 x 3
205 x 3
205 x 2.8
Got out of groove for that last one.

Seated dumbbell press, cable row superset
50 x 8, 200 x 10 x 4

T-bar Rows:
lots of sets with some plates. eh.

Dumbbell Rows:
I figured out that I could jack up one of the benches and use the parallel grip curl bar as a plate-loaded dumbbell. It looks pretty ridiculous, but actually worked well in practice. It has a side benefit of a raise handle so the dumbell has no torque and won't roll out of your hand.
("db" x reps per arm)
110 x 10
130 x 8
150 x 6
160 x 6

Finished with some shrugs, band-resisted curls, and bus drivers. Shrugs felt somewhat off/worn-out today; I may be overtraining my traps, if that's even possible?
