* Notes:

- Out-mother-fucking-standing workout.  I felt uber-tight in the hips while doing the back squats; however, after the squats were done, the push press + split jerk complex went exceptionally well.  I think, I'm starting to get it -- shortening the dip and allowing the bar to wrap around my shoulders, which is making the jerk infinitely easier.  Now, I need to work on stabilizing my torso and arms to hold the heavier weights.  I worked up from 110kg to 165kg and, even though, I didn't make the 165kg -- it's okay, because I'm making attempts at it.  This is a damn good reason to celebrate!  I honestly believe that 165kg will fall, along with 170kg.  It's only a matter of perseverance, hard work, and patience.
