Pretty good deads, speed was great, lockout issues were better, felt a little movement in my SI on my last rep, but so far so good for pain. Did some stretching and rolling immediately after and felt a few pops around the lower back/hip area so I'm hoping it went back in

Pretty low energy day coming into the gym, left shoulder was really hurting. Spent time rolling my thoracic spine, and stretching my rotator cuffs, which helped a little and actually made my shoulder feel great post workout surprisingly. 182.5 was hard to touch, the last inch it was all over the place, towards my stomach, then face, good speed on the press which is nice to know is there even with bad positioning. 190 felt great, touched easily, pressed a lot smoother than 182.
Heaviest squats of the cycle tomorrow, so I'll be hitting the hot tub this evening and mobilizing my hips, hams, and shoulders.
