Haha! finally got the last rep of the push press, wasn't a grinder either.
Wide stance squatting is starting to feel quite natural now. Works the **** out of the posterior chain though, even my deload deads felt a bit slow as a result. Thinking of splitting sunday into two sessions so I can recover a bit before I pull, and hopefully take advantage of having my CNS fired up at the same time.

Probably a bad idea to leave squats till last. They were absolute grinders, 2nd rep was possibly an inch or two high as well :/.

Couldn't seem to get great leg drive on push press. Lockout has definitely improved though so I grinded those mofos out and got all 3 reps.
Squat was much easier than Friday thankfully, might start squatting weights that I couldn't squat before in a week or two.
Probably had a rep left in me for deadlifts, but I decided to leave it there and maybe nail it next week. Reps were a bit slow and I need to recondition myself to squatting and pulling on the same day.

Squat was a bit hard, first rep possibly high. Probably because I decided to skip volume on sunday/monday.
Decided to take a light day for Power cleans. They were much easier than I expected. 7th set was flying up with ease.

Didn't attempt 3rd rep of squat. Lost my arch on the second rep and thought 'hmm risky'.
Press is starting to feel a bit hard again. Will add another set on Monday.
Sick bicep pump today. dat dere 'high' reps.
Power cleans felt a bit slow to begin with and actually feel affected by the curls when I superset them lol.

Session 2:
Deadlift:

187.5*6 (kind of PR)
Training was a bit gay today. While warming up for both the push press and the Squat they both felt really fast and light. However I failed a rep on PP and pulled the 3rd rep out of my arse for squat.
Deadlift sets were quick too. Was an unsatisfying PR today though as the last two reps I think I spent too much time fannying about trying to set up, probably like 20 seconds each (I reset each rep on the floor). Still I have probably gotten stronger, hopefully enough adaptation to pull 197.5*4 next week without any nonsense.
Interesting to note that the last time I set a Deadlift PR was the week after I introduced squats before I Deadlift (before my knee ****ed up). Seems like it places a huge burden on your body to try and compensate with the stress. I like it!

I get wrist pain when pressing moderate/heavy or even stretching them inwards. I could blame my crappy pressing on that maybe?

Could be a technique issue. Do you make sure to sit the bar as low as you can in your hand? If you let it sit too high your wrist will have a tendency to roll backwards.

Yeah the bar's pretty low. I sorta obsessed over it when I was reading SS
.Idk, maybe I messed them up when I started doing (well, trying) handstand pushups months ago. Even a bit of pressure hurts them now.
Not too sure what I can do now to help rehabilitate.
Anyways...do you think you'll be benching again soon?
