60 mins 

Started with squats. Did a couple warmup sets with the bar. Started on the box at 16", then went to 14" which is about parallel for me. I did squats to touching the 14" box, but not box squats (didn't sit back on the box). Knees felt good not sitting back on the box. Added weight real slow and just worked up with about 60-90 seconds rest between sets. Worked up to 3 sets at 115#'s. Still very light, but they felt great, felt like I was really squatting for the first time in a LONG time. Things just seemed to "click". Perhaps all the knee work the lsat couple of weeks is working. I was elated!  

Next was OHP working up to 3 sets @RPE 8.  I have a real hard time judging RPE on OHP. As soon as things get "heavy", everything feels like RPE9, even when I know it's not. I struggle with overshooting and leaving too many reps in the tank. I usually overshoot. I did a backoff set on short rest that felt awesome. Then I did RDL's. Not real heavy, but worked up to 3 working sets that were supposed to be @RPE8.  They were probably RPE 6,7,7-ish. Didn't want to overdo it on my knees. Started workout with 2 mins knees out hold and finished with another 2 mins. Good WO

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 182.0 this morning. Feeling good. Definitely the best I've looked and felt over 180#'s.
