Ah, experiencing the exotic then.
Okay session tonight. Feeling a bit off today.
Squats:
125 x 5/5
Light squats.
Press:
72.5 x 5/5/5/5/5
Happy with this. A little harder than last time.
Did 6 chins, but shoulders and arms tired, so did some foam rolling then went home.

All power to you hitting 5x5 with strict press.
I did 65 for 6x6 today, absolute monster of an exercise to get through. Literally at the start of each set thinking; "have I rested long enough to not balls this up and lose my fourth/fifth/sixth rep"
Do you find that you rest longer between sets of strict press than you might other exercises?

No. Squats are the longest, due to the amount of dread. I think; I don't really time my rest periods, but I think my squat rest periods are generally longer than my pressing or benching ones. But today I think I did rest a bit longer.

Fair, I guess maybe I'm juts not used to volume yet
Good session tonight. Got a bit of a sore head later on, though.
Squats:
167.5 x 5/5/5
As difficult as last time. Stance maybe slightly too narrow and last set which made it more difficult than the others.
Paused bench press:
97.5 x 3/3/3/3/3
Last rep of each set very difficult.
Barbell rows:
95 x 6/6/6
Then home.

Tonight was egregious.
Squats:
127.5 x 5/5
Light squats, and about the only thing that went okay.
Press:
70 x 3
Arms and shoulders just felt ****ed.
Tried deadlifts but didn't even have 160 in me (possibly grip related) so went home.

Tonight was decent enough.
Squats:
170 x 5/5/5
As difficult as the last heavy effort. Stance maybe a bit narrow on the second set. Technique a bit hit or miss. But I don't think they were quite as hard as the last time I did this.
Paused bench:
100 x 3
90 x 5/5
Triple was quite hard. Fives weren't too bad.
Chins:
bodyweight x 5/5/5
Going to have to work back up at these.
Foam rolling then home.

Just a quick one this afternoon. The way things panned out meant I didn't have much time to squeeze a session in.
Squats:
127 x 5/5
Light squats.
Press:
75 x 4
Was hoping for five. But was in a rush and don't usually train this time of day, so that's my excuse.
Then home.

Decent enough session this evening. Wasn't in long.
Bench press:
100 x 3/3/3 - paused
90 x 6/6 - TnG
Decent enough. Five straight triples paused probably isn't enough, probably need use fives to build strength.
Deficit deadlifts (yellow/15 kg plate):
170 x 5
Not too bad at all. What I like about these is that they really force you to get tight at the bottom, which is one of my weaknesses.
Then home.

Decent enough session tonight, overall.
Squats:
172.5 x 5/5/1
Back wasn't strong enough so only did 1 rep on last set. Other sets very difficult.
Press:
75 x 5/5/5
Pretty difficult, but a PR.
Chins:
bodyweight x 6/6/6/3
Some foam rolling, lacrosse ball work, then home.

Very difficult, but that's my old touch-n'-go PR...
Incline dumbbell bench press:
30s x 8/8
Not too bad.

175 x 5
Same as last time.
