* Notes:

- Fairly easy workout today.  Initially, when I started my warm up I accidentally knocked out a set of power jerks at 55kg; hence, the asterisk.  Aside, from the natural tendency to power jerk, the clean and jerk portion went well.

- Clean pulls began to aggravate my low back -- nearly to the point of a back strain, because I found myself failing to maintain proper spinal lockout throughout the pull.  This evidence itself more as the sets progressed.  I'm quite disappointed in my execution of the clean pulls.

- Front squats went well.  No complaints at all.

- Snatch RDLs irritated my back even more after the less than desirable clean pulls.  Not sure if 5 consecutive repetitions is beneficial as my form began to falter after 3 repetitions; however, I'll stay the course.
