* Notes:

- Week 9 is finally done and in the books.  The split jerks from the blocks went well; although, I didn't go extremely heavy -- staying at 80% of 1RM and focusing on a faster turn-over in the dip/drive.  The front squats went well, capping off at 140kg which was 5kg over prescribed -- plus, I did an additional set at 140kg.  I'm pleased in how this particular week's worth of training has gone and I'm looking forward to the toughest week - week 10.
