* Notes:

- I'm loving this program!  What a novel idea to have a day dedicated to pulls and squats.  No classic lifts!  The change of pace and routine is definitely welcomed and I'm thoroughly enjoying the switch up.

- Snatch pulls were easy, but the clean pulls were a task.  The 15kg jump to 130kg seemed heavy but I managed.

- The original Conceptual program calls for "incline" -- my best guess is incline bench press, but I don't have the necessary equipment for that particular exercise; namely, an incline bench.  Therefore, I substituted with strict shoulder presses (a.k.a. press).  It's been a while since I've done presses and they were a strain to complete.

- After the presses, the clean grip RDLs were a nice and welcome switch in exercise.
