* Notes:

- Mediocre workout today.  I nailed a new block clean PR at 143kg, and I was feeling very confident in pulling off 150kg.  However, during the 143kg attempt I ripped my hand during the pull.  I made the lift but the tear was at the junction between my thumb and forefinger.  Thankfully, I didn't rip the skin open.  Regardless, I couldn't hold onto the bar with a firm grip after the tear, because I could feel the top layer of skin separating from the bottom layers.  Each attempt at 150kg exacerbated the separation and my level of frustration!  I'm so FUCKING PISSED!  I want 150kg like a fat kid wants a twelve pack of Coke and a box of Oreos!
