Had an uncommfortable feeling in both knees at the bottom of the squat, and my left feels a little tweaked, but nothing major. Because of that I slowed down in the hole instead of getting a bounce like in a comp. 455 was workman like, not easy but not a major fight either. Last heavy day until the meet is done.

felt pretty good warming up so I threw the belt on and repped out 405, I wanted 8 but my form started to break down so I called it at 6. Not sure if that was the right choice as I think I could have fought through 2 more.
