Dammit, I hurt my lower back earlier this week (or maybe last week?), so I'm forced to go low volume and low intensity on squats all week. Essentially I have no choice but to take a de-load week for squats and deadlifts. I've also switched to high bar squats from low bar squats because I don't feel as much pain during the movement.
But this hasn't stopped me from hitting a bench press PR yesterday! Video here.
Anyways, here's a few articles you should read and an interview you should listen to:
