Good and bad parts of the session.

The bad. Couldn't meet my reps on the first set of the squat and bench.
For the squat, I went raw, no belt. Surprisingly, I felt pretty strong. I thought the bar would just flatten me. The bench was technique deficiency and lack of rest time. Proof of this is I was able to do 5 reps easily on the last set.

The good. I did squat raw. I've been belting up on the top set of the work set for the last couple of workouts now. I had some hesitation going into it without a belt, but my core held up much better than I anticipated.
