Definitely felt heavy. 3rd rep, 2nd set I lost form--knees came together and I pushed up but torso dipped down and the bar wanted to roll over the back of my head. I'm sure it looked ugly. Thankfully I had the bar nice and low. Finished that set alright. 6 minutes rest before 3rd set which is usually enough but as soon as I walked it out it felt like I had slipped some extra 25s onto the end. Just felt so heavy. Only 3 reps.

WTF? I really wanted to just add 10lbs each time and walk right up to 405. Can't believe I couldn't get that last rep. First 4 reps looked good too. Then it all fell apart. I was rocking back and forth struggling to make the extension, throwing as much English into it as I could. I was stuck like that for a few seconds, long enough to realize even if I could straighten up I wasn't going to count the rep so I just dropped it. I was so mad I punched a curtain.
