Volume Day on a taper down

Well it is coming down to competition time in a couple of weeks and looking at getting work in while also reducing weight. It felt obvious in work sets that it is deload time. Things are working well with programing, I wish I could say it was all planning but there is some luck in there. I would say right now tapering down is going to set is up good for the comp.

 
 
 
Squats- Tonight shortened up the reps and reduced sets. Could feel 150kgs on my back and worked them off just fine.
 
Bench - we decided not to slow the bench just yet and did the normal increase. These felt heavy like the squats. 105kgs for 5 should be easy but the last rep on each set was a little grind. I felt it in my shoulder on the first set but that was not getting tight on the set up.  Sets 2 & 3 felt much better. Skipped pin presses  for some rest.
 
RDL - these felt ok. Reduced volume here also. Tried to get some hamstring stretch going and get the hips popping through. A day later and my lower back is sore as heck. After this comp I am going get into some more back work so I can get my deadlift going.
