Power Clean

67.5 kg (148.5lbs): 3,3,3,3,3

Squat

160 kg (352lbs): 5,5,5,5,5

Press

80 kg (176lbs): 5,5,5,5,5

Notes

Eating a lighter breakfast seem to make me less fatigue during the workout
Engaging in self-talk to hype myself up seems to work to get me through each set. Especially squat.
Finally did 5x5 on press first try. Not sure if I can keep on making 2.5 kg jumps. Might be time to invest in fractional plates?

Triceps felt fatigue as the set of presses progressed. Maybe because of the dips last Friday?
