Benching to 75% for reps

I already benched this week, but in hopes of improving my pressing, I decided to hit it again.  My back was tired from Tuesday's squat, so in lieu of overhead, I benched.  I rounded out with some rows and triceps work, and am feeling pretty good.

I managed a measly 6 reps on 315 (which I estimate is my 75% mark) but was still sore, so I'm fine with it.  Had I been fresh, I think 10-12 is possible.  Onward and upward!

Here is the workout:

Squatting to 85%

Today I was in dire need of a good squat.  It had been a few weeks, so I really needed to get it in.  I started feeling week, but after a few warm-up sets, I finally started to get in the groove.  455 felt pretty easy, and I came up fast on 525, as well.  I didn't want to push too high, though, as I'd been off for a few weeks and didn't want to overdo it. 

I then hit a couple of back-off sets for volume, and worked in some curls, just because.

Here is today's workout:
