* Notes:

- Gnarly workout.  Complexes were a bitch and throughout the whole process I managed to rip my hand open!  I'm so pissed at myself because I've been diligent in taking good care of my hands!  Filing, clipping, sanding, moisturizing -- all for naught.

- Snatch work was a lot of fun today.  I found myself very quick under the bar, but after tearing my hand open, I became hesitant under the bar -- call me a giant pussy, but the "sting" was distracting.

- I wasn't exactly sure of the type of back squat I was going to do today, and ultimately ended with paused back squats with a two second hold in the bottom position.  These were great because it help me focus on staying tight in the bottom by maintaining a rigid torso.  I was pleasantly surprised to have walked away with 150kg x 3.

- I'm also pleased with the amount of volume in today workout.  75 repetitions is fairly high and I'm hoping to continue throughout the remainder of the week.
