* Notes:

- Second half of yesterday's prescribed workout went exceptionally well.  I managed to get loose enough through the hips and legs to back squat 153.5kg x 5 for 3 sets -- unbroken!  Furthermore, I was able to establish a new push press PR at 125kg -- an increase of 5kg within the last 6 weeks -- not bad for an old guy.  I made two attempts at 127.5kg and after further review of the video, I should have had that weight.  Furthermore, the attempt at 130kg was fairly close, but my mind started playing "fuck-fuck-games" with me and I walked away with the added 5kg PR.  All in all, a great day on the platform.
