* Notes:

- You can see the asterisk at 87kg x 2?  I strained my back on the second repetition.  The strain hindered my mental focus going into the segment training.  It (my back) was off.

- I recall reading in a book once, quite possibly authored by Mike Mentzer or Arthur Jones, that most muscle strains and injuries occur during submaximal lifts -- those lifts that seem relatively easy because lifters don't stay "tight".  Call it complacency, lack of attention, foolishness, hell - call it what ever you want - it sucks and it threw my workout off!

- I did manage to wade myself through the workout - even successfully cleaning and jerking 125kg in the first segment, so I believe most of the subpar performance was due to a lack of mental acuity.
