* Notes:

- Stick with the FUCKING PLAN!  Another frustrating day on the platform.  I should have stopped after the 138kg clean and power jerk, but being a stubborn old Marine, I pushed and I got punished.  The cleans at 141kg were fairly easy but the jerk was completely off -- maybe due to all the push presses from yesterday and a completely shitty night of rest.  Either way, I smoked the "weightlifting dick" today.  Terrible showing on the platform!

- After getting my ass handed to me in the clean and power jerk, I pushed forward with front squats, which weren't all to difficult.  135kg was a breeze, so I decided to venture further -- all the way to 145kg.  My attempt at 150kg x 3 failed after the second rep.  A small victory, nonetheless considering I was to finish at 135kg.  After my piss poor showing with the clean and power jerk -- I'll take it.  Tomorrow is a day of rest.  I need it to recover physically and clear my fucking mind of all the garbage that's been piling up in it.
