Notes: Was utterly wrecked by this point, and Monday's failed reps cemented my decision to just get my deadlift PR and take a long break.  Today was my first gym day since that Wednesday.  Going to try dropping a little weight again, as I've become a mildly fluffy.

Weight (Saturday): 176 lb

Notes:  Crappy week.  Regressed on standing presses from prior cycle.  Initially got the smooth bar for deads on Tuesday and couldn't hold onto it, so I wasted a ton of time unloading/loading to hit a double instead of a triple.  No improvement on bench, and I'm worried that I'm not getting good depth on my peak squat working sets.  Not sure if the diet's just not working, or if I've run the course on 5/3/1.  All I know right now is that I'm finishing the cycle.
