TM - heavy day

Managed to squat 350x5, bench 235x5. Both felt relatively easy, think I could have done 355 and 240. Only deadlifted 355 for 1 before i couldn't keep my back straight anymore. So frustrating! I got 350x5 last week on deadlift, but it was definitely with rounded back.

I've been contemplating a switch to sumo as I've mentioned, but I worry that my lower back will just get weaker and weaker. I'm also contemplating getting a belt. Another potential solution is to do more lower back and hamstring work, but I'm not sure that I can recover from that plus heavy deads.

I've been doing the mobilityWOD called "Free your scap, free your mind". I think it's really helped with my benchpress.
