Comments:

Squat day was great.  The trainer, Art, watched my sets, and couldn't figure out why I stopped at 4 reps on my AMRAP set.  I explained that I really felt my hips rise faster than my shoulders, and felt like was GMing the weight up too much.  He disagreed completely.  He said I'm still slow out of the hole - I knew that - but that my depth was fantastic, and that my technique looked very solid.  If my form was on - and it felt like I was doing it wrong, but it sure didn't hurt or anything - then I had a few more reps in me, I think.

Boxing, though, I think I did something to my left bicep, and it's causing a pinched-nerve type feeling through my left shoulder and elbow.  After doing the bare minimum on the bench, I called it a day.
