Only 2 reps on set 1.

Squat 1×1 @ 160

Rested 3 minutes.

Not feeling too bad on the top set. Shoulders well aware of the bar!
Saw a few spots after the lift but no worries overall.

Low blocks here. Bar up by about 2 inches from the floor.

Tired today. Slept in and then started lifting late.
Generally low energy overall but cant explain why.
Lifts felt ok for the most part but felt like I was just going through the motions after Sumo warmups.
