The squats are a bit of an eye opener for me heading into my meet next week that anything can happen at a meet for really no apparent reason. This is also sending a message to all of us to pick our openers wisely and conservatively. It's awesome that you got the 405 in, which is always a decent lift for all of us mere mortals.
I am also impressed you were able to channel that anger over the squats into a beastly PR on deadlifts. Your 3rd attempt on bench seems like a wise choice, since you already hit a PR and 17.5 lbs is not that drastic of a jump.
Congratz on all your success Mike!! I am guessing tho that you won't be resting too long haha
Looking forward to the vids
