TM cycle 12

Volume:
Squat 360 5x5

Intensity:
Squat 415 1x5 <- failed, got 4 reps.  The 4th was a real grind and I knew I wasn't gonna have it.

This was annoying because I thought I had at least another 10-15lbs in me.  However, my company sent me to Boston to give some talks at MIT and I flew all day before the workout, had terrible nutrition, and then slept about 4 hours.  I'm going to give it a go again this week, and should be able to get it.

Pressing lately:

Press: 160 3x5 got 5/5/4.  Try again this week.
Bench: 240 3x5 got 5/5/5.  Going well.

Meet is in 4 weeks.  I have 1 taper week which means that I'll have 3 more cycles.  This puts me at (if i don't fail more workouts):
Squat 425 5rm, theoretical 1rm of 480 or so.
Bench 255 5rm, theoretical 1rm of 290.
Deadlift (gotta start again), hoping to hit 500.
