505 x 1 x 3 sets (everyything felt good, the plan was to stop at 415 but decided I could go a little heavier. I was supposed to do 4sets of 3 @ 75% (525) so got as heavy as i could just to get reacquainted with it. alot of warming up to reassure myself)

Close grip 2board w/ double choked band

Safety squats
Back was tighening up so did light weight
155 x 4 x 3sets (2second pause @ bottom)

all in all i felt good, cept towards the end, just need to get some conditioning down. either way i am ecstatic to think it was just last week i was "hurt"
