Could always try out body saws as well.
Squats tonight and I'm going to move on from 5s. I'm not sure if tonight I should start 3s (187.5x3x3) or do some tasty singles.
I could probably get 185x5x3, but at the same time I could start triples progression. 187.5x3x3 may not seem like a big jump from 180 but this is the start of the progression. Who knows where it end but it will be heavy and certainly not 4-5 sets.
I'm tempted by singles to break things up.

Yea, thinking heavy singles before starting triples is the way.
Squats
BAR x lots x2
70x10
90x6
120x2
140x2
170x1
190x1 - filmed knees to see how they are improving. I think they've come a long way.
200x1 - tidiest 200 I've ever done, video below.
210x1 - Boom PB! Lost tightness at the bottom which meant my chest dropped, but managed to hang on. Need to work on that as it can mean rep failure. Good gains though! Video below.
Knee Band Squats
120x8 x2
DBSS
BWx10/10 x3 - focusing on slow controlled reps with a good stretch
Did a few planks and rollouts and got a video to check form.

Plank form. Topless to help see what's going on.

So first thing I noticed is my head position and upper back. A few seconds in I remember to active the scaps so that's why I drop a little lower. A little movement as I try to control breathing with full core pressure.
Rollout form.
Was tricky on carpet, took a little effort to get it moving. LOL @ the upper back position, all dat bench tightness.
Too saucey? 
Thanks, the progress has been good since the comp. Home gym gains.

PB attempts should require a ball bursting amount of effort, that did not. Congrats but plenty more in the tank me thinks!

All Matts lifts appear like that, I'm convinced he saves a lot in the tank, I told him that at the comp too.
I'm not saying he doesn't push himself as that clearly isn't the case, but I do think he has more in him than he currently shows

215 to be honest 
Good effort mate

I think picking the right weight for a 1RM after gaining some strength is tricky, you can end up selling yourself 2.5-5kg short but it's no loss really.

Thanks.
Hopefully I can bring the core up to stop this issue in the hole, should allow me to move up in weigh easier.
