* Notes:

- Clean and push presses went fairly well today -- even PR'd at 115kg.  I was very close at 120kg but just couldn't finish out the last couple inches of the press.  Hence, more work is required in the press/triceps development.  It will come in due time.

- The reverse front squats (a.k.a. front squats from the bottom of a rack) were insane!  I should have stayed with a 2 rep scheme but decided at the last minute to change my format to 3 reps every 30 seconds.  Bad idea, as I nearly shit myself in the last two sets.  105kg soon felt like 150kg!  It freaking hurt and my legs are completely destroyed, along with my low back.  I thought about trying a few hang cleans following the reverse front squats -- my body refused.  Yikes!

- I need to add that I tore my hand open today.  I've been diligent in taking care of my hands (i.e. shaving, filing, moisturizing, etc...) but shit happens, and it definitely affects your performance on the platform.  Good thing I was using my black Uesaka barbell because it was a bloody mess when I finished.  Take a look:

Pussy hands!
