Yukon squats
Up to 420x3
315 x 8, 8, 8, 10, 10

Didn't try for 470 based on how heavy 420 felt. I think the strength is there but it was a bad day, either from being hungry or going too long without squatting heavy and having bar shock from the walkout.

Everytime I write an analysis like that I end up concluding that it's an excuse and at the end of the day the summary is I was too weak.

Anyway, a problem: eating this much leaves me nauseous when I wake-up, causing me to either undereat for breakfast or force a big meal down for way too long a time. Either way, I end up hungry when I train. This isn't inherently a bad thing but I want bang for my caloric buck if I'm putting the effort in, otherwise I would just train fasted. 

I end up eating my biggest meal before bed, which causes the morning nausea cycle to start all over again. 

Solution: eat what I can within 30 minutes, then train 45 minutes later no matter what. And be strict about these times, adjusting as need be (but once it's in writing, no changing on the fly).

Also cut down on the nighttime meal a little bit, with the expectation that things will start to fall in line and I'll be hungrier during the day and can eat more consistently large meals throughout.
