Zercher - by the book: DL to thighs, hook arms, stand up, lower to thighs again, lower to ground

135 x 1 - easy
185 x  1 - not so easy, x 1 - focused on tight DL to thighs, rest of lift was much easier
205 x 1 - up it went
225 x 1 - long rest before, kind of spent, this went up but not much strength to spare
