Squat 1×5 @ 132.5

Resting 3 minutes.
Top set felt tougher than I expected.
Back sets feeling better but still heavy.

Bench 5×5 @ 94

Resting 3 minutes.
Set 1 went super slow so stripped to 90kg.
S3 also moving slowly so stripped again to 85kg.
Last 2 sets all good but the left tricep seemed to be lagging a little on a few reps.

Deadlift 1×5 @ 147.5

Resting 3 minutes.
Split this 3 then 2 with a 60 second rest.
Second rep on both felt way better than the first.

Summary

Christmas Day session. No lift, no gift!
Feel like this was a pretty high tonnage day compared to recent.
All good with a few edits.
