* Notes:

- Long, very freaking long workout.  Took 1.5 hours to complete and I'm spent.  Cleans went well considering I'm only 2.5kg under my max, so it was a fine day on the platform for cleans.  I still need to work more on timing and contecting with the bar at the right moment to reduce "bar crash".

- Rack power jerks were amazing and I didn't spent too much time trying to warm up.  Instead, I pushed to 80kg for triples and then began singles up to my current max of 140kg.  There is a lot more in the tank, but I could feel myself tiring as the workout progressed.

- Block jerk dips were a new movement and having such a heavy weight on my shoulders was a new experience -- it sucked!  However, it's a part of the process of progression.  I need to become more accustom to having heavier loads on my shoulders to push past this current roadblock with my clean and jerks.

- I considered not doing the clean pulls, but what the hell?  I went ahead and they felt fairly good; although, I was exhausted by this stage in the workout and couldn't deliver 100%.
